Balnaves Cabernet Sauvignon

Proof that you should never write off a vintage on a generalisation, this is one of the most accurate, structured and long-lived Balnaves Cabernets yet. Textbook Coonawarra cabernet of black- and redcurrants, mint and dark choc oak, finishing with firm, mouth-filling tannins. Patience. $30 at WineStar.
