"Cassis, vanilla cocoa and mint with an undercurrent of rich rolling tobacco. It’s medium to full bodied with a beautifully thick tannic texture that rolls through the mouth gently and surely with no assault from oak, alcohol or acidity – just the firm confidence of quality ripe fruit and positive oak. Finishes with a slick of creamy tannin and a pinch of dried herb. It’s a fulsome ripe year Coonawarra, much like 2005 or 1998, perky, fighting fit and ready for action now, yet age shall not weary it. A Monty for the cellar. 94+ Points/Drink 2014-2028+" Gary Walsh
