review

Pristine and gorgeously styled, the wine shows blackberry, sweet plum, rich floral, warm spice and roasted nut aromas on the nose. The palate delivers excellent weight and plump mouthfeel, wonderfully framed by beautifully melded tannins, finishing superbly long and satisfying. The wine offers fabulous fruit purity with sensual complexity

Raymond Chan Wine Reviews

review

Deep inky purple, lighter on the rim. This has an attractive bouquet with aromas of blueberry, blackberry, plum, violet and spice. Medium-full bodied, aromas of blueberry, blackberry and plum entwined with violet, dark herb, star anise and savoury notes to finish. The fruit is bright and fresh with lively acid support; subtle savoury elements linger with velvety tannins to a sustained, enticing finish. Match venison ragu and lamb roast over the next 8+ years. Fermented to 13% alc.

Great colour and intensity with aromas and flavours of roasted blackberries, spiced plums and black currants; clove and vanilla pod spices are trapped in a smoky wood layer, and a clay stone quality delivers a mineral and earth quality. Firm and dry as the wine touches the palate, tannins have a polished ripe quality and acidity delivers backbone. Well made with a lengthy finish.
