Peter Lehmann Mentor 2005
Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThe 05 Mentor is a nice step up in ripeness and roundness which may surprise given it is a rare 100 per cent cabernet sauvignon edition where the vines are all 60 years old. It's aged for 18 months in French oak another reason to pay attention here. We love the richness and gloss on entry and the powerful minty cedar black fruit flavours that run the length of the wine. You can easily drink this now with a T-bone steak or a piece of lamb, or you can cellar it for another five years. Well done and good value.
