$295/bottle under the original label

Lot 350 was produced by rockstar winemaker Shane Harris for Geoff Hardy's 2019 Tzimmukin program. This is their most expensive and iconic wine, selling for $295/bottle in Australia. We were allowed the privilege of purchasing just 80 cases of this magnificent wine.

The bouquet is vibrant and sexy with blackberry, mulberry and black cherry interlaced with currant notes that provide lift to the sensuous, rich, high-quality oak. Peppery gumtree, spicy clove and cinnamon florals complex the nose. Vibrant, muscular and sinewy but surprisingly elegant on the palate with beautifully-integrated, minerally tannins interlaced with black and red fruits in a big, lush, palate-staining finish with big, chalky length and resounding fruit that echoes for a good minute or more. Wow. With pinpoint precision, seamless, ethereal structure and exquisite balance, this is a truly Epic wine!

Cellar Keeper

"Drank over 2 days. A lighter bodied Cabernet, with good acidity and tannins on the finish. These integrated better on day two leading me to believe the wine still has more cellaring potential."

— Jeremy P. (4/5)

Needs time

"Will be great, might be the best dN ever offered, but needs another 1-2 years to come out out of its shell!"

— John D. (5/5)

Massive wine

"Wall of tannins on pop and pour, recorked for 72 hours and it really came around. Great bouquet, gobs of dark fruit, still quite tannic; good acidity, highly structured. 20+ year aging potential."

We are trying to broaden

"We are trying to broaden our pallet from Pinot's to include Cabs. This one does not disappoint. The reserve was definitely worth the purchase price."

— Thomas G. (5/5)

Delicious Australian Cab!!!

"Delicious Cab! Definitely a must have wine, however I recommend holding for a year or two. I love being able to see how the wine develops over a few years and this wine will only get better with age. We opened a bottle and it is truly well balanced but definitely had some bottle shock. Looking forward to trying another bottle next year."

— Michael (5/5)

Tried now, looking forward to later!

"Really enjoyed the early tasting. Expected it to be big, rough, tannic … and it was. Maybe some bottle shock from travel, but now that is is settled into temp controlled cellar, looking forward to another try in a year!"

— Ken M. (4/5)

Big, rich Aussie - Give it a few years

"Big, rich, Aussie cab. Needs lots of air or years in cellar. Structure is great. If you like Aussie can this one is top notch."

— Kevin K. (5/5)

Awesome

"This a rich dark dense red is one of the best examples of Australian Cabernet. It feels like an amarone style wine with a hint of cassis and chocolate along with a huge mouthful of dark fruit. Awesome !"

— Chris D. (5/5)
