Wine Summary Image

A highly structured and elegant expression from McLaren Vale.

The 1999 vintage was an exceptional season for South Australian reds, allowing this limited-release Cabernet to undergo a 36-month oak trial in French barriques, resulting in serious fruit intensity underpinned by prominent regional traits.

Appearance: Originally a medium red-purple with an excellent depth of colour, well-cellared bottles have evolved into a bright brick-red with a slightly orange rim.

Aroma: A spotlessly clean and fragrant bouquet showing a complex mix of blackcurrant, sweet spices, truffles, cedar, and violets, layered over gently savoury varietal fruit and sweetly spicy oak.

Palate: Highly structured and tight with a medium-to-full body. It displays a concentrated mix of cherry, plum, and blackberry flavours. The extensive French oak integration introduces secondary characters of stewed fruit, spice, and earth.

Finish: Long and balanced, with its initial firmness giving way to a silky-smooth mouthfeel as fine, well-integrated tannins carry the fruit and savoury spice flavours to a lingering conclusion.

At over 25 years old, this Cabernet is fully mature and drinking beautifully.

The 36 months of barrel maturation provided the necessary backbone for long-term cellaring, meaning the tannins are now completely integrated and molten.

It is highly recommended to decant this wine prior to serving to allow the older bouquet to open up and to separate the liquid from any natural sediment.

Cellar Condition

Provenance; “Place of origin; derivation”

  • The history of the ownership of an object, especially when documented or authenticated. Used for Artworks, Antiques, and Wine.
  • The records or documents authenticating such an object or the history of its ownership.

Whenever you buy wine there is an inherent risk, as wine is a perishable good regardless of whether it is sealed under cork or screwcap. At GraysOnline we minimise the risk to you by providing as much information as possible regarding the provenance of the wine we sell.

We take the time to individually inspect each bottle and photograph it so you know exactly what you are buying. All Private Cellar wine stored at GraysOnline is kept in a temperature controlled wine storage area. Any wine that doesn’t meet our quality standards will not be sold.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 5 star designation are recognised as being of proven quality provenance, our team has verified that the wine has been stored correctly from original purchase straight from the winery, documentation, where possible, has been sighted and cellaring conditions have been inspected. This wine generally comes from only the best and most respected of wine collectors in Australia.

★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 4 star designation have been cellared correctly as verified by the current owners. In general these wines have been purchased from retailers or traders and stored in cellared conditions from original purchase.

★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 3 star designation are in good condition when we inspect and we are able to confirm some cellaring conditions but we are unable to verify all ownership and storage conditions of their history.

A wine displaying no stars doesn’t mean that there is a problem with the wine, it simply means that we have been unable to verify provenance, however a quality image is always available for the purchaser to make their own purchasing decisions.

Private Cellar wine is wine which has been stored for aging purposes in a Private Cellar.

Storing the wine and allowing it to age has the potential to improve the quality of the wine. While wine is perishable and capable of deteriorating, storing the wine can alter the aroma, colour, mouthfeel and taste of the wine in a way that may be more pleasing to the taster.
