Classically elegant, complex and wonderfully structured, this polished and finely balanced cabernet has a smoky bouquet of cassis, dark plums, coffee grounds and polished leather backed by nuances of camphor, dark chocolates and animal hide. ItÕs exceptionally long, fine-grained and focused, with a charming presence of fruit Ð some of which is still primary Ð underpinned by drying, dusty tannins. It finishes lean and savoury, with remarkable persistence of fruit. Exemplary.
The best and most refined John Riddoch for some seasons and a clear move away from the porty, extracted styles of the early 1990s, this wine loses nothing for concentration and intensity of flavour. Sweet plums and blackcurrants combine with textured chocolate/cedar/vanilla oak in a richly structured but elegant palate with firm, fine-grained tannins. It finishes quite savoury, with exceptional length. A wine for enjoyment as much as for admiration.
