[SOLD-OUT] Wendouree Cabernet Malbec 2005

Julia Harding MW 18.5 Points!
"Old vines, 50/50 Cabernet/Malbec. Cabernet planted 1920 and 1971, Malbec 1898 and 1920. 12 months in hogsheads (20% new). Executive winemaker Stephen George. pH 3.42, TA 6.4 g/l
A slightly reductive note and a touch of iodine. Very distinctive nose. Earthy/mineral and peppery and a little meaty. Restrained fruit profile. Sinewy. Dark and yet fresh and very fine. Elegant yet with great length and power and a slight savouriness on the finish. Fruit is held back. Great wine."

Campbell Mattinson 94 points!
"Beautiful. Mint and blackcurrant, earth and cedarwood. Rushes of fine-grained tannin. Completely in balance. Excellent length. Excellent shape. I would have scored it higher a year or two back - but the blush of youth has gone and it's now set on a path towards maturity, so that's to be expected. I reckon I'll hunt down some more."
