Tasting note:

Dark berries and black plums perfume this wine. Full-bodied goodness and smooth texture. There’s a lot of hedonistic pleasure here. Perfect for movie night!

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Striking briars, cranberry, cassis and grilled herb and scorched earth core. Cedar and dried tobacco leaf backs it up. Restrained and great acid. Coonawarra Cab at its best. Would make a ripe left-bank Bordeaux lover cry. Great for another 8-10 years. Could really match an aged Pessac-Léognan by that time. I'm 93 on this wine. (ottawawinejournal.com)

Dan Trcka rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This full bodied Australian Cab is nicely aromatic with integrated notes of black currant, blackberry, Earth, pine, vanilla and oak. The tannins are refined to tannic (decant for 1/2 to 1 hour) and the finish is long and smooth and silky. It should nicely evolve for the next decade or so. My impression: BEAUTIFUL, 92 pts. Reviewed again May/10.

My earlier review:
Dominated by black currant, black cherry and bilberry, this wine also has notes of pine, oak and vanilla. It is smooth and silky; still young, fruity and somewhat tannic (needs one hour to open), with medium to full body and a long finish. My impression: BEAUTIFUL. Tasted Feb/10.

Bright red-purple; a striking and fragrant bouquet, with blackcurrant, earth and cedar aromas; the palate moves onto a different plane, with considerable tannin-derived structure that has an earthy/savoury regional profile; serious wine. Drink [until] 2016. Score: 95 Source: James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au
