You’ll need no intro to this very well-known Coonawarra name. Hollick are favourites for good reason: they hit the nail on the head when it comes to crafting beautiful cabernets which the region champions. All of their reds see a little bottle age, and we’re looking at 2 and a half years for this stunner. That comes after a good 18 months in premium French oak barrels. You do the math, mofo. It’s rich and intense, with a glut of sophistication. Toasty spices and a touch of anise meet the menthol, blackcurrant core of this beauty. There’s a little touch of tobacco and earth which are starting to reveal themselves, promising a long and interesting life ahead. Superbly bold, a perfect reminder of Coonawarra’s charming force.
