Purple black in colour with crimson rim. Lots of cigar box on the nose over blackcurrant, cassis, and an initial whiff of mint and cola. The palate is velvety, with polished, dark fruits sitting softly over the top of supple tannins and moderate acid. The wine is full bodied, but surprisingly carries its weight lightly. Long finish, and nicely balanced - despite being a Barossa wine, it is not stereotypically big or heavy.
Looking good now. I don't have enough experience of Barossa cabernet to predict further development.
Cheers

Wine, women and song. Ideally, you can experience all three at once.
