Color is like liquid copper, amazing. Took about an hour to open, then nearly as good as upon release, nice acid, Loire Cab Franc, tart strawberry on the palate. One more bottle and we're clean out, loved this wine, only found it once. One of our favorite bottles, with a bird on it! — 9 years ago

This is an amazing drinking Burg. As I stated earlier drinking better than Burgundies costing more than twice the price. Red & black cherry fruits, blood orange, intense mineral with game bird, dried herbs and Asian spice. — 10 years ago

Another great round for the flavorful bird , the taste is like apple juice if it was not sweet and had embodied every beutiful flavor of a white wine. — 9 years ago

Brooding, dark, inky and absolutely delicious. It's got some of those leathery, cigar box kinds of notes. Dash of dark chocolate on the nose. Plum. Black fruit. Concentrated. Nice chewy finish. Lingers. Rarely would I drink an Aussie merlot, yet this one's knocking it out of the park. — 9 years ago

Blind tasting, wine number 4, bag number 3. Bright red and clear. Love the nose, black olives, cherries and hummus. Moderate tannins (6.5/10), and moderate body. Nicely integrated between the size of the body and tannins, but would love to try this in a few years by then hopefully the little bit of heat wears off. Nice amount of dark fruits as well. Lingering finish but is smoother than bottle number 5 and 6. My third favorite of the night. — 10 years ago

Took FOREVER to open up, but after 4 hours it started to sing.. Dense, dark fruit and a distinct stony minerality and chewy structure made way for rounded tannins and pretty long finish. If anything, I'd like a bit more "mountain fruit personality" but I'm getting greedy for only $30.. Great bottle. — 11 years ago

If I'd known then what I know now. I find cab sav is most often a purchase based on speculation - they're frequently released far too young and are pretty much undrinkable in their youth. All overpowering tannin and intensity. This is an example of one very much worth the wait. Cool climate elegance combined with concentrated fruit and all sorts of complex notes layered throughout: menthol, cedar, blackcurrant, spice, hints of dusty chocolate and gently perfumed oak. Still has years ahead of it. Can't wait for dinner to finish cooking so I can sock it back with a rump steak. Should have bought more way back when! — 10 years ago

Dark ruby in the glass with a nose full of tobacco, vanilla and blackberry pie! Dark and brooding, the palate is loaded with dark cherry, black currant and blackberry with a touch of cloves, nutmeg and black pepper. Tannins are soft and smooth and the finish is long with hints of dark chocolate vanilla and smoke. — 11 years ago
