REVIEWS Medium red-purple; an instaneously appealing and elegant light- to medium-bodied cabernet with blackcurrant fruit perfectly framed by cedary oak, the overall balance faultless. Easy to walk pas this wine because of that balance. Great value, and ready now. 94 Points, James Halliday Australian Wine Companion Website, November 2013 A new range from Xanadu with the initials of Dr John Lagan, founder of Xanadu. Regional dusty bay leaf perfume, mocha, red and black fruit. Medium bodied, fine grained tannin, mild astringent pull and a pretty long tobacco accented finish. Much to like here.
