Score 92/100 · Drink 2021-2027, Josh Raynolds, Mar 2016

(aged for 16 months in new and used French oak hogsheads): Inky ruby. An exotically perfumed bouquet evokes fresh blackcurrant, cherry compote and pipe tobacco, with smoke and vanilla nuances adding complexity. Sappy and expansive on the palate, with vibrant dark fruit and floral pastille flavors showing liqueur-like depth and surprising vivacity. The gently tannic finish displays excellent focus, repeating spiciness and strong cling.

Eden Valley, cabernet sauvignon and '12 is a potent combination, with guaranteed success, but excels itself in this wine with its joyous display of cassis, superfine tannins and all-encompassing freshness. July 2015, www.winecompanion.com.au, Drink now to 2037.
