Coldstream Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2003
Jeremy’s score 89/100A pleasingly elegant cool climate cabernet with a sweet cedary fragrance of cassis and dark plum, violets and vanilla oak, with undertones of green bean. Sweet creamy oak enhances the roundness and juiciness of the mid palate, while smooth tannins enhance the length, harmony and piercing nature of its vibrant small berry flavour.

Coldstream Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Jeremy’s score 94/100Its heady, violet-like perfume of blackberries, cassis, mocha and dark chocolate reveals classic varietal undertones of dried herbs and briar. Long and elegant, its sumptuously flavoured palate of deep, dark fruit and charcuterie-like oak is framed by a strong but pliant cut of fine tannin, finishing refined and savoury with faint suggestions of mineral, mint and menthol. It’s beautifully elegant and balanced, capable of extended cellaring, and offers exceptional value for money.

Coldstream Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Jeremy’s score 83/100Rather meaty, green-edged and awkwardly metallic, this moderately rich cabernet presents spicy aromas of dark plums, blackberries and cassis backed by tarry, smoky influences. Underpinned by fine tannins and backed by sweet and savoury oak, it finishes both cooked and greenish, with nuances of dried herbs, tough bitter tannins and a lingering meaty aspect.

Coldstream Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Jeremy’s score 93/100Elegant and stylish, this measured and fine-grained cabernet has a dusty and faintly herbal fragrance whose smoky aromas of cassis, mulberries and cedary oak reveal nuances of underbrush and graphite. Supported by a gravelly spine, its excellent length of dark plum, blackberry and cassis flavour knits tightly with polished creamy, cedary oak, finishing with a briary aspect.
