98 Points — Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion
(Published: 02 May 2024)
“Cabernet sauvignon from Yarra Yering’s original 1969 plantings. Matured in 225L French barriques (30% new). Deeply and brightly coloured. Classy and discreet cabernet with its bouquet of subtle but concentrated black cherries and blueberries together with discreet cedar and cigar box. Graphite and violets, too. Tightly wound with firm yet sophisticated tannins. More backward than the Dry Red Wine No. 1 from the same year. I can’t really split them, and I’d love to revisit these two wines in five, 10 and 15 years from now. 75 dozen made.”

About This Wine
This Cabernet Sauvignon shows fresh blackberry fruits complemented by a nettle leaf aromatic lift. The palate has notable energy, fruit concentration and precision, with fragrant youthfulness and liquorice spice complexity. The tannin profile is ripe yet fine, supporting the fruit intensity.
