Wolf Blass Black Label Cabernet Shiraz Malbec
Rated 97 Halliday points. "Deep crimson-purple; whereas the '11 had to fight every inch of the way, this wine displays almost contemptuous ease in the way it has marshalled the layers of black fruits and ripe tannins that soak up the new oak inputs. This will be one of the long-lived, great Black Labels." James Halliday Wine Companion, July 2015.
D'Arenberg Coppermine Rd Cabernet Sauvignon
'The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon, which is still tightly wound, the black berry and currant fruit compressed into a solid block while its secondary dark chocolate characters are now powering out of the glass. If you open this now you are going to need a dinosaur steak to stand up to it, but wait another five to 10 years and you'll see something else.' - Adelaide Advertiser, 20 Sep 2014, by Tony Love. 'Full-on blackberry and blackcurrant fruit strikes from the first sniff of this opulent and intense McLaren Vale cabernet. The fruit intensity on the nose and palate is extraordinary, revealing so much depth and concentration. Plenty of French and American oak, and the tannins have a nice suppleness.' 96/100. - Weekend West, Perth, 24 Aug 2013, by Ray Jordan.
