Taylors St Andrews Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Time is needed for this to settle into a meaty, leathery and rustic style. Its meaty, minty and assertively oaked aromas of cassis, dark plums, chocolate and graphite overlie a hint of iodide. ItÕs sumptuous and powerful, firm and blocky, with a rich, deeply concentrated core of fiery, bloody fruit wrapped in layers of firm, drying tannins. Keep it!

This comparatively large Clare Valley maker releases some occasionally delicious young wines under its main varietal label Đ such as the 2014 Shiraz Đ plus some rather more expensive and very traditional Australian styles under its St Andrews brand. With another fine release from 2014, the St Andrews Riesling remains the company's finest wine. The new 'ultra-premium' The Visionary label, priced around $120 per bottle, has entered the market with some success, its best wine to date being the very refined and silky Shiraz from 2010 (95/100, drink 2030-2040).
