Tasting Notes

Good dark red. Expressive aromas of currant, licorice, mocha, leather, graphite and spices. Then slightly hard-edged in the mouth, with a peppery element to the dark fruit and spice fla vors. Finishes a tad pinched, with dusty, palate-saturating tannins. I'd give this a couple years in the bottle to harmonize. 87(+?) points

Score: 87

Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 01 July 2010

Good deep ruby-red. Crushed cassis, licorice, mint and violet on the rather cool nose. Then fairly round and moderately sweet in the middle palate, but with a slightly peppery quality to the dark berry, mineral and dark chocolate flavors. Finishes with surprising subtle persistence and slightly edgy tannins.

Score: 86 - 89

Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 20 May 2008

Showing better than it did from cask, this soft, generous, dark ruby/purple-tinged 2007 exhibits sweet black currant fruit intermixed with cedar, roasted herbs, and subtle smoke. Round, hedonistic, and already complex, this blend of 73.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 26.5% Merlot should drink well for 12-15 years.

Score: 90

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2010-2025 30 April 2010

Aromas of currant bush and dark berries lead to a medium body, with velvety tannins and an interesting combination of currant, sweet tobacco and cedar on the finish. Fresh and clean. Not a great Duhart, but attractive. Drink now. 22,915 cases made.

James Suckling, Wine Spectator 31 March 2010

A bit angular, with licorice, tobacco and berry character. Tar too. Medium-to-full body, firm tannins and a medium finish. Slightly hollow midpalate.

Score: 86 - 89

James Suckling, Wine Spectator 31 March 2008

Deep ruby. Strong mineral element on the nose, which also shows some ripe fruit. Round and flattering. Quite a fruit bomb! Very supple with pretty refined fruit. This could be a good buy for early drinking.

Score: 17

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2011-2018 10 April 2008

Dense colour, pronounced Cabernet Sauvignon nose, slightly smoky, even leathery fruit, density of fruit, elegance over power, but power is there. Drink 2013-22.

Score: 17

Decanter, - Maturity: 2013-2022 08 April 2008

A very deep purple, garnet core. The nose is very intense with black fruits, sous-bois, very savoury fruits. Very lifted, developing touches of black cracked pepper and a hint of sea salt. The palate is medium-bodied, perhaps a little coarse with a slight burnt quality on the finish. A peculiar showing for Duhart - interesting and distinctive but lacking its usual breeding. This is disappointing.

Score: 83 - 85

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 08 April 2008

Opaque ruby colour. Brooding, intense nose with occasional flashes of fruit. Thick and chunky with tarry fruit and hints of graphite. Finishes with a punch of coffee roast and chewy tannins.

Score: 88 - 90
