From the Lyndoch sub-region of the Barossa Valley, this wine spends around two years in new French oak. Under cork. An opaque purple colour here, the nose exhibits the full array of attractive Barossa Cab notes – chocolate, tobacco leaves, smoked meats, leather, cassis, mudcake and much more. Big, bold, powerful and concentrated, there is oak evident here but it is finely integrated. A lingering finish with fine, firm tannins, this is the sort of wine you could easily put away in the corner of the cellar for five or six years without any problem. What you'd then find would be a warm climate Cab in fine form, full of flavour, and giving pleasure for another decade.
