Top Notes For

9.1

Wendouree - the over riding descriptors tend to be the menthol/moth balls/eucalyptus notes, almost regardless of grape type. Medium to full bodied. Great balance - so much so it would be difficult to assess the age at nearly 20 years. Herbal and medicinal notes. A wonderful old Australian Cabernet from ancient vines. The prodigious length of this wine belies the medium weight on the palate.

Honestly this smelt of tamarind to me and was absolutely amazing. Only had a small taste and want more!
