A blend of old-vine fruit from both Coonawarra and Barossa, this is an elegant and understated icon bottling that's still very young. Plump berries are at the core, with leafy Cab-like edges, leather, gentle peppery spice and a slight smoky nuance. Tannins are muscular yet pliable, making room for the supple fruit, but overwhelming by the finish, indicating the need for more time in bottle. Drink 2027–2049. Christina Pickard

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
