Tasting Notes
Cameron Douglas MS writes "Fantastic colour and concentration with inky staining of the tears leading to a bouquet of ripe roasted blackberries and Doris plums, tobacco and barrel spices of clove and roasted vanilla pod, there's a toasty wood seam and layers of cigar and warm rocky soil ideas. Dry with plenty of weight and concentration as the wine touches the palate. Flavours mirror the bouquet led by black berry fruits then plums and violets, baking spices and wood smoke. Tannins are firm and abundant with medium concentration, acidity youthful and fresh still." 93pts.
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "It's fabulously expressed on the nose, showing cassis, subtle tobacco, anise and toasty oak aromas. The palate displays lovely concentration combined with refined texture and fine flow, leading to a sturdy yet supple finish. Wonderfully styled and highly enjoyable." 94pts.
Huon Hooke writes "Deep, bright red-purple colour; the bouquet is likewise fresh and bright with cedar, dried-herb, flake tobacco aromas, the palate intense and focused, bright and deep, with an abiding elegance. A hint of tomato blush." 91pts.
The winery writes "Deep crimson in colour with a magenta hue. Intense aromas of blueberries, violets and maraschino cherry, with nuances of dark berries and French oak. Silky and vibrant, the wine bursts with intense black fruits, the palate is structured with the mid-palate balanced by long, fine tannins."
