Yalumbas Signature Series always produces a faithful rendition of the Cabernet Shiraz blend - the Cab in the slight majority. Nose of mint and black fruits. Quite dense - still with a short term future despite some professional opinions on the drinking window. On the palate blackberry - soft tannins nearly fully resolved. Nearly as good as Penfolds Bin 389 without the cellaring future.

Apr 15th, 2019Still vibrant and in good health at 13 years. Great balance in Australia’s classic blend. With time a mineral salty earthiness amongst the plum tobacco flavours. One can experience both components of the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Shiraz on nose and palate - the mint of the Cab somewhat covered by the sweet fruit of the Shiraz.
