"A fabulous vintage of Filius, and a total bargain for this level of quality. Layered aromas appear from first sniff: plump currants and plums, dark chocolate, savory herbs and florals, graphite and a mineral, iodine-like nuance. In the mouth, there's bright fruit and silky texture, with savory, fine tannins and a long, elegant finish. Made to drink now or to age for several more years. A wonderful intro to this distinctive Aussie style."

"The nose is deeply scented and perfumed with an underlying power, showing notes of blackcurrants, dried herbs, boysenberries, violets and mulberries. The palate is medium-bodied with finely integrated tannins, bright acidity and notes of wild blackberries, tobacco leaves and mocha. Very well constructed."

"The 2022 Filius Cabernet Sauvignon is supple and bright, with raspberry, nori, dark chocolate, mulberry and licorice. The finish has tart acidity, which is a little distracting, and a black cherry succulence to it that rights the ship."

"An approachable red, offering fresh, juicy fruit flavors at the core. There's a mineral edge to the plum, black cherry and cassis notes, with cedar, graphite and cigar box accents, plus dense tannins. Velvety finish. Drink now. 13,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported."
