There's always a lot of excitement to be had about the release of the Moss Wood Cabernet, potentially the estates most iconic wine.
It's an astonishingly elegant, ethereal wine that needed some time to show its charms. Classic blackcurrant, clove, tobacco and cedar notes dominate the nose but there is also a fresher, red-fruited character keeping everything pure and lifted.
The palate is full-bodied and grippy but in a linear, delicate sense. You will need to invent a time machine or give this a bit of a decanter slap to enjoy within the next five years.
A worthy landmark of Australian wine.
98 points"One of Australia’s great cabernets. This from a cooler season highlights and accentuates the typical bright red fruits and blue fruit mix, especially on the nose. It’s aromatic and perfumed with an African violet scent. The palate as always is so exquisitely balanced and refined. Since 1989 the cabernet has been augmented with the floral bright fruit of cabernet franc and the darker robust black fruits of petit verdot. The palate delivers with a gentle restraint yet there is power deep within. The chalky tannins define a long and focussed finish. A deceptive medium bodied wine that will cellar for many years."- Ray Jordon
