Limited edition of 1,090 bottles! @ €107 & unusual 14.5% ABV for Rioja! It’s a good bottle but not worthy of its hefty price tag 😁 Will age much longer which may reward!

🍷 Opaque dark ruby/cherry

👃 Explosion of red cherry, strawberry jam, light blackberry, wet earth, thick balsamic w/ discrete smoke & violets

👄 Med body of ripe creamy red cherry (almost jammy) w/ dark berry tones, milk & dark cocoa & light balsamic

🎯 Med+ red cherry & berry fruity touch dry cocoa & balsamic rounded finale — 8 years ago

I am not a great fan of Malbec, but this specimen explodes with strong scents of red fruit and lots of character. There is a strong undertone of ascent I can't quite place, but I am leaning towards vanilla. Full bodied, with medium tannins, the red fruits continue on the palate, with tangy aftertaste and long finish. — 10 years ago

The boss assigned this bottle as homework for the weekend. Aromas and flavors of black cherry, lavender, spice, chalk, and more. Soft tannins, with good body and a long, contemplative finish. Damn. — 10 years ago

Ripe plum, lightest hint of white pepper, floral aromatics. Made with Abel, 5, 667 and 777 clones. The tannins are very refined but and not very present initially but hang in a pleasantly ling lingering experience. This wine is ready for sure but may have another interesting 5 years ahead of it. — 11 years ago

Not what I expected. Dark in color. Way to dark to be from oak so probably caramel. Also a distinct but not sickly sweetness. I don’t think one really can rate something like this. It was wonderful to drink b — 7 years ago

Bam! Holy crap. One sniff and this wine captivates you. Incredibly beautiful, floral, whole cluster Pinot nose. I just kept smelling it and forgot to actually drink it for a while. Elegance and finesse are what I smelled, but the palate had the structure/seriousness/power Otago Pinot is known for but harnesses and refined.

No sulfur(maybe a bit at bottling). 100% whole-cluster, carbonic, Abel clone. — 9 years ago

9.1

Mid crimson in colour. Blueberry on nose and palate showing the 72% Mataro. Nice pulpy fruit with bitterness. Light to medium bodied. I would prefer to drink this now at 5 years rather than cellar further. A cult Barossa cuvée made by Abel Gibson who makes light and fresh Barossa Shiraz with less oak influence than the norm. Amazingly the lightest empty bottle I have seen compared to the Primitivo which was ridiculously heavy. Had another bottle 42 weeks later on 27th May 2019. Notes of cherry cola on nose and palate with a bitter twist at the finish like Plum skins. Low tannins and low acid - certainly not built for cellaring. Drink now. 1 bottle left. — 7 years ago

And Abel said to Cain.."Hey quit trying to one up me all the time and buy some Napa varietals, blend them perfectly and come up with one of the finest Meritage's around."

And Cain said.."you're such a colossal pain in the ass. What? Cain Five wasn't good enough? You have to have a totally accessible Cab blend with the slightest amount of Petit Verdot to balance things out and keep the fruit under control? Seriously? You have to have a great wine that's ready to go right now? Okey Dokey! And here's some more lamb."
