Woodlands Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Very stylish, with a deep, heady perfume of dense floral aromas, scents of small black and red berries knit tightly with fine-grained cedar/chocolate oak and backed by a hint of soy, it opens up with more of a tobaccoey aspect. It’s long and sumptuous, with a firmish spine of loose-knit tannin and handsome, fine-grained vanilla oak influences, but it does reveal a hint of greenish extract and a marginally baked, currant-like note.

Winery
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.
