"Brown Brothers spoil us when they release wines like this with five years of age; we get to drink them without having to be patient. There’s aromas of plush blackberries and blueberries. Rocky road with fine dark chocolate, homemade vanilla-scented marshmallows, freeze dried raspberries and lightly toasted coconut. Intensely concentrated and full-bodied, yet balancing the richness of fruit with an unexpected elegance. The flavours dance between black cherries and plums, dried lavender, black olives, and spicy just-brewed chai tea. This wine wraps you up in the immersive experience of walking through an old-growth forest – the fragrance and calm of earth, wood and verdance. There are high levels of dusty talcum-powder tannins and a bright berry acidity that promises further cellaring will continue to reward; but why wait?" Nicole Bilson

The fruit for this 2018 wine was sourced from premium Victorian vineyards, to bring together a complex and well balanced expression of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Individual parcels were matured in new and aged French oak barriques for 18 months before being blended to achieve concentrated fruit character and subtle tannins giving this wine sensational length and cellaring potential.

This concentrated red wine would make a great partner to Venison Bourguignon with roasted potatoes in their jackets. It could also be enjoyed with a selection of aged cheddar cheese at the end of a meal.
