2013 Xanadu 'Reserve' Cabernet Sauvignon (Magnum)
98 Points James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
Cabernet doesn't come more intense than this without losing its shape; here it parlays into purity and precision. The fruit and tannins have well and truly absorbed the oak. You might think this can't be consumed now, but it can - the final achievement.
96 Points Huon Hooke, The Real Review
Bright, youthful, deep purple/red colour. The aromas are very fragrant, inviting and loaded with blackberry, floral, violet and red fruit aromas, the palate also offering intense violets, red fruits and dried herbs, very complex and cabbish. An elegant cabernet, stylish, long and finely crafted. Great cellaring potential.
