Bright plum red in appearance, this wine opens with a fragrant and lively nose that immediately captivates. Aromatics soar from the glass, offering an enticing mix of glacéed red fruits, jube-like sweetness, and pastille notes. Hints of flambéed crêpe suzette and a touch of Grand Marnier orange lend a playful, lifted complexity. Subtle oak influence is suggested through delicate notes of dry tea leaf, reminiscent of Earl Grey. Youthful and vibrant, it draws you in with irresistible charm. On the palate, it makes a bold Coonawarra statement from the first sip. A rush of vivid red fruits—raspberry, cranberry, redcurrant, rhubarb, and a touch of cassis—floods the palate, supported by bright acidity and mouth-watering succulence. There’s no sense of hollowness; instead, the wine shows impressive mid-palate density, with fine-grained, high-definition tannins working in harmony with well-judged oak. Balanced, expansive, and energetic, this is a Cabernet full of promise and personality.
