Lot 199 Details
YALUMBA THE SIGNATURE (CABERNET SAUVIGNON/SHIRAZ) 2002
Barossa Valley, South Australia.

The 2002 The Signature (56% Cabernet Sauvignon and 44% Shiraz) was given the same upbringing as its young sibling, but 2002 is a better vintage for Yalumba. The 2002 exhibits smoky, blackberry, incense, charcoal, and floral characteristics along with tremendous glycerin, richness, purity, and teeth-staining levels of extract. Remarkably, there are no hard edges, and the acidity, tannin, and alcohol are beautifully integrated. This cuvee should drink well for 15 years. Drink: 2005-2020 96+ WA


12 bts. per lot $700 - $800

Realised: $720
