Orlando Jacaranda Ridge Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 $65 
Impenetrably inky and glossy blood-black in the glass, this bay leaf, blackberry and tobacco-stacked cabernet is just woof-inducingly lovely to drink. Finely tuned tannins follow a palate awash with dark cocoa, leather, plum and smoked cherries. The acidity and alcohol (14.5%) are beautifully balanced and add freshness and buoyancy, while a seam of dried herb and coffee bean create further complexity on the finish. Five years in the bottle and it’s maturing nicely, becoming a deeply flavourful, classic wine that’ll bring power to any dining table or tasting bench. Outstanding.
