This virtually leaps out of the glass with its burst of black fruits. It has very good weight, depth of flavour and balance. The wine finishes long and will reward careful cellaring.
This wine was blended from the best barrels of wine not included in The Olssen Six 2007. It is a blend of Cabernet franc (22%), Merlot (22%), Petit Verdot (21%), Malbec (15%), Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) and Carmenère (3%).
5 Star Rated Winery James Halliday Auatralian Wine Companion
93 Point Rated James Halliday Australian Wine Companion
"Has the power and much of the black fruit flavours of The Six, but more obvious extract and tannins; that said, has a greater reservoir of fruit, and given time, might emerge in front of it. Cabernet Franc/Merlot/Petit Verdot/Malbec/Cabernet Sauvignon/Carmenere."
International Wine Challenge London
"Deep colour. Eucalyptus nose and some herbal notes. Dark cherry flavour. Firm, chewy tannins with lots of juicy acids."
