Robert Parker Score: 94 points

Italian mountain herbs begin to emerge from the saltbush and licorice that adorn the nose of the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon. Fresh plump fruit on the palate does nothing to obscure the powerful tannic drive that this wine is in possession of. As with many of the 2016s, this has eons to go. Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy at the Melbourne Wine Show for this vintage.
