2025 - Decanter World Wine Awards

Festooned with minty berries, tobacco and gentle leafy, floral aromas which amass over the beautifully structured palate, with its fine grained tannins, energising acidity and tantalising blue fruit finish. Resplendent in its vitality and verve. Award: Platinum - DWWA 2025

Philip Rich - Halliday Wine Companion

A blend of 80/20% 1995-planted cabernet and 1990-planted malbec. Matured in French barriques (15% new). A medium deep, bright crimson. Fragrant with aromas of damson plums, blackcurrants, cedar and violets. Medium bodied, this elegantly wrought and persistent wine finishes with very fine-grained and suave tannins suggesting this will age gracefully over the next six to eight years.

Aromas of blackcurrants, cedar, purple fruit and rose petals. The palate is full-bodied with firmly integrated tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of Damson plums, mulberries, dried herbs and violets. Quite structured and drying,

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2022 Agincourt Cabernet Malbec leads with cassis and mulberry, green peppercorns and a hint of sumac spice, with strawberry, black cherry and raspberry. Epic. On the palate, the wine is a little green and nettle like, with a resinous sort of herbs and cassis bramble. It is lovely, and I believe it will age beautifully, those green inflections holding it in good stead in the years to come. Leafy and detailed. Very good, although it is on the green/leafy spectrum for Cabernet. Done very well. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Jeremy Oliver

A gentle, elegant and supple cabernet blend of medium body and a vital acidity which together with its very fine, dusty tannins, define its shape and focus. Brightly lit aromas of red, black and blue forest berries laced with violets and red flowers reveal a hint of cedar/vanilla oak. It's piercing fruit and assertive acidity give a youthful impression of leanness, which it's unlikely ever to lose entirely. However, it's a fine, unintrusive wine that gradually unfolds some charm and flesh in mid-palate. For those who enjoy their cabernet supple and ethereal.
