1981 North America

A remarkably full-bodied and fruit expressive Cabernet Sauvignon, with masses of ripe blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, ably supported by spicy French oak notes. The fine, ripe tannins make this a very page-worthy wine.
Martin Hudson MW, Wine Buyer

Lovely rich notes of Blueberry compote, morello cherry hit the nose with a graceful attack.  The palate is tightly woven and possibly slightly less generous than the nose, but no less powerful with blackberry and mineral notes, fine peppery tannins that all lead to a long length.  A brilliant example of new world wine making and one to keep for at least another 5 + years. Great potential.
