"As with all Woodlands cabernets, once you get past the oak, the fruit is of the highest pedigree; rippling with layers of complexity and nuance. Their potential for grace in the cellar is proven. Raspberry, pomegranate, bitter cocoa, aniseed, salted tomato, Dutch licorice, sage and exotic spice hide within the savoury folds of flavour that forms the backbone of this wine. The oak envelopes it all now, but will emboss into the fruit over time.”

"This is a powerful cabernet with rich aromas of dark berries, as well as assertive, cedary oak and subtler, leafy tones. Some chocolate, too. The palate has well-curated, fine tannins and delivers red and dark-berry flavors in a long, unwavering style. Try from 2024. Screw cap.”
