Description
A rich and complex array of ripe fruit and oak matured aromas. Dusty mulberry and ripe plum with subtle black olive fruits are laced with sweet vanilla bean, smoky and roasted mocha oak aromas.
An intricately layered palate structure of ripe fruit and oak flavours seamlessly combined by maturation in barrels. Ripe dark berries, hints of dusty mulberry and spicy plums with subtle vanilla, mocha and chocolate oak flavours are richly interwoven. Fine grained, softly assertive tannins complement lingering flavours.
Gourmet Traveller says.....
A character-filled cab with loads of complexities and a bouquet of violet, rose petal, berries and cedar/cigar box. It's well proportioned, with a flowing palate and is already aging gracefully!
Campbell Mattinson and Gary Walsh give it 94 points and say....
Lots of showy oak, manifested here in the pervasive scents of freshly baked cocunut macaroons and sandalwood. Do not fear: this is matched by profound flavours of red- and blackberried fruits. It's firmly tannic, fresh, beautifully structured and long through the mouth. Serve, and expect to hear all the oohs and aahs you could ask for at this price. Drink 2012-2024.
James Halliday gives it 95 points and says....
In absolutely classic Odyssey style; three years in new and one-year-old French and American barriques; silky smooth black fruits, cedary oak and tannins all coalesce; the screwcap will underwrite its long future. Drink To 2024. Listed in the "Best of the Best Cabernet Sauvignons"
