G'Day,

The apex of Australian Cabernet is still probably Lake's Folly, IMHO.

Lifted floral nose of cabernet perfumes (i.e. berries and violets).
Light to medium body, with excellent fruit weight of plum/prune
characters. Classic Folly finesse (i.e. elegant and complex). Lives
a very long time (15 years+).

Lake's Folly also make a magnificent Chardonnay, but it is only available
in 4 of 12 mixed dozens. Very 'Montrachet-like'.

Both wines only available from the vineyard, or if you're flying QANTAS, or
if you frequent the Savoy, London.

Price : $AUD276.00 + freight.
Availability : 4000 cases per annum
