Deep red with purple hues. Dark boysenberry and floral notes with hints of redskin / licorice strap and subtle toasty oak influences. A full-bodied wine offering ample depth with plenty of inky ripe forest fruits; blackberries, redcurrants and spice. The jubey fruit and approachable tannins combine to produce a generous wine with a subtle structure and a lovely persistence of flavour.
Fermented with whole berries, aged for 14 months in French barriques (20% new) and some larger oak. Very much in the vein of previous vintages, this release provides a liberal helping of ripe red and black fruit seasoned with a good measure of cedary oak spice. It's soft enough to fit the drink now bill, but with a bit of extra personality.
91 Point Rated - Huon Hooke The Real Review
"Deep, bold, bright red/purple colour, the bouquet clean, fresh and fragrant with some cassis notes that suggest a touch of cabernet in the mix. The palate is medium to full-bodied and firm, with slightly edgy tannins which are nevertheless in balance. Good length, firm cleansing tannin finish, and evident cellaring potential. An excellent wine for the price."
