Sandalford Prendiville Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Leeuwin Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
A concentrated dark fruit spectrum with an abundance of ripe blackcurrants, cherries and a hint of cassis. Coffee bean, dark chocolate and black olives lie beneath. Subtle dustiness combines with a seductive violet lift, enhancing the varietal fragrance and increasing complexity. A dense and layered palate with incredible texture. The generosity of the palate is carefully laced with a fine and structural acid line. Dark cherries and currants weave through smokey and mocha notes, finishing with long tactile tannins.

Penfolds Cabernet Shiraz
2015 was a very good year for Bin 389. Some say it was the best wine of the Penfolds release in its graduate year. Deeply coloured, unhurried in its evolution, still loads of buoyant fruit impact at the front, then descending, Penfolds-style, into a multi-faceted, deeply flavoured, smoothly edged charmer. It's a definite "keeper". Bin 389's repuation is enhanced just a little bit more with this vintage. To be enjoyed with best friends over a great meal.
Penfolds Bin 407 Cab Sauv
Distinctively "cabernet", and clinging to its youth tenaciously, the 2015 Bin 407 is only just starting to show some evolution. The elegant tannins are beginning to resolve, the dense, dark fruit softening - the layers melding. Cassis, black currant, mocha and mint flavours shine through. There's lots more to this multi-layered wine for you to discover. It's exciting to drink top cabernets like this, but no need to hurry - it's a brilliant drink now, and will continue to improve for ten years.
