1998 vintage - have always loved this maker and this vintage is a standout - holding up superbly at 17 years

Like a boxing veteran this wine took some punches from Father Time but stayed on its feet to deliver nice flavors of dark fruit and some dust. It did not go the distance but faded in the very late rounds.

1998 vintage. Didn't expect quite so much, but just a gorgeous Cabernet & drinking ideally right now. Dark currant, espresso, that Coonawarra rust/earth character.
