Phillip White 94+++ Points!
Phillip White 94+++ Points!"Many deep red thinkers suggest the Barossa sometimes makes Cabernet that beats its Shiraz. Here's a wine that many will offer as proof. All the impossible florals are here, with the confectioner's window wide open next door. Typical Greenock Creek Cabernet, in other words. But this wine also makes people smile. It is brazenly open and expressive. It is unbuttoning its blouse. Musk and lavender and blueberries and violets. And then the more sinister darknesses. Deadly nightshade and juniper. Dry black dirt and the old black pepper tin. And simmering in the middle, barely evident in this its infancy, an artery of juicy sweet fruits. Its flavours are a seamless extension of this bouquet, sinuous and strapping, but with very frank gravelly tannins. In other words, a great Cabernet, unblemished by sophistry. It doesn't need any. And it doesn't begin to look like 16% alcohol. The damn thing looks stroppy, but not gargantuan."
