Unlike some other vintages of this wine, which have seemed a bit hard, this effort is full-bodied and lush, albeit a bit unstructured. The result is a softly tannic mouthful of cola, black currant and dried-spice flavors that would be a fine companion to tonight’s grilled steak. Good now. ——J.C.(2/1/2007)—— 87

Tries to be light and refined, but feels a bit firm and subdued, offering modest currant and spice flavors that should develop with cellaring. Best after 2005. 9,400 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / New South Wales / Mudgee Select to Add

A classy, nice-sized Cab. The nose shows deep black pepper, dried spice and mixed plums, and the palate—plums, oak, and blackberry—follows suit. Finishes with dry, woodsy tannins.——D.T.(9/1/2004)—— 88
