Phil Reedman- Master of Wine. Tasting note (below).

The Barossa Valley, quite rightly, trumpets its Shiraz wines to the world and generally leaves other regions to make the noise about Cabernet Sauvignon. Is this about to change I wonder?

Rare Black Cabernet Sauvignon is certainly raising the flag for Barossa Cabernet. The aroma is pure-play red capsicum; now there’s a varietal hallmark if ever there was one. The palate is medium-bodied with spicy, toasty French oak and coffee bean aromas and flavours.

Concentrated vermillion in colour, showing the concentration of low-yielding vines. An elegant, understated bouquet; youthfully varietal with cedary oak. “Power with Responsibility” best defines the palate. The colour might suggest a huge wine but this, while full-bodied, is dancingly elegant with vivid fruit and fine, structural tannins.

Given that I think this wine will live for 25 years it is a youthful now so please decant it early. Serve with Wagyu steak.
