Woodlands Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Classically elegant, long and fullish to medium in weight, this stylish cabernet unfolds a cedary bouquet of cassis, mulberries, dark cherries and vanilla oak back by nuances of dried herbs. Supported by fine, drying tannins with a slatey feel, its polished expression of small red berries, cherries and plums reveals a hint of cigarbox but just lacks the genuine mid-palate strength for an even higher rating.

Woodlands
Established in 1973, Woodlands is still enjoying a stunning renaissance that shows no signs of slackening. It has developed its own house style - almost a prerequisite for greatness in wine - of deeply perfumed, pristine fruit integrated with fresh, fine-grained oak and underpinned by a classically fine, chalky backbone, often revealing the kind of dusty, dried herb qualities more often seen in Bordeaux than Australian cabernet. There's again an impressively even consistency and elegance about the current releases, as well as Woodlands' typical cellaring potential. Again, it's hard to pick highlights out of a collection of highlights.
