Expert Review
LANGTONS
"Tasmanian winemakers refer to Domaine A as the only true chateau of the island state, and its the sheer Bordeaux-like longevity of this remarkable cabernet blend that confirms it. Even the earliest vintages of this label from the early 1990s are still but half way through their life. The 2006 has a similar future before it, powerfully structured with a wall of firm, finely structured tannins that scream out for a very long time to soften and integrate. Even at eight years of age on release, it’s only slowly developing secondary roast capsicum and toasty notes amidst its powerful, meaty, savoury nuances of tomato leaf, tobacco, berry fruits and game. It holds its balance in the midst of its tannin onslaught, with lively Tasmanian acidity keeping things fresh. For the record, 90% cabernet sauvignon, 4% cabernet franc, 4% merlot and 2% petit verdot, built for the long-haul with 30 months of maturation in 100% new French oak barrels." 96 points, Tyson Stelzer, Wine Taste Weekly, Wine Taste Edition 139 Jan 2014
Domaine A is the only winery in Tasmania able to produce a wine of this quality from this Bordeaux blend (90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% each Merlot and Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot; 30 months in 100% new French oak) the secret being closely-spaced, dry-grown old vines. It is a black-fruited wine with an autocratic personality, but will loosen up to a degree over the coming years’. 95 points, James Halliday

A 90/4/4/2% blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot and petit verdot matured in new French barriques for three years, than matured in bottle in the cellar for a further two years. Full, deep colour; an uncompromisingly full-bodied Bordeaux-style blend, but here the extra year (and perhaps the vintage) has resulted in the best balance of the three Domaine A red wine releases in '13, the red and black fruits not challenged - rather heavily supported - by the oak and tannins.
