95-97 points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

This wine is a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc. The colour is intense deep crimson. The nose is expressive and powerful, showing primary Caberent characters of blackcurrant, mulberry and dark cherry combined with tight grained French oak.
On opening the palate is dense, but shows great balance and finesse. There is a lovely softness and suppleness to the palate that overlays a powerful core of old vine Cabernet fruit. Hints of vanilla, mint and bay leaf emerge and combine with the primary fruit flavours as the wine opens up over the first hour. Given enough air and time, the tannins soften and the wine opens up to reveal more nuance, but still at this stage maintaining it’s youthful power.

"Deep, youthful purple/red colour. The bouquet is cedary, herby, cassis and blueberry-like and stylish, more reserved than the other Woodlands reds, still needing time to blossom fully. Intense and quite concentrated, it has good, ripe but firm, fine-grained tannins in abundance. It will richly reward cellaring. Outstanding cabernet.
