Tasting notes:
Abundant aromas of Cranberry, blueberry and violet lift from the glass, complimented by hints of dark chocolate, plum and a subtle, forest floor character which adds a savoury, earthy complexity to the wine. A medium bodied wine that is vibrant, supple and salivating. Bright redcurrant and fresh cranberry are complimented by dark, juicy plum and delicate notes of vanillin from French Oak. Soft cocoa powder tannins deliver length and a salivating finish.
Review:
93 Points, James Halliday
Matured in French oak for 18 months. The bouquet is very expressive, with cassis and redcurrant fruit aromas, the medium to full-bodied palate adding a pronounced savoury shaft of flavour tightly linked by powerful tannins. Has the balance to justify the cellaring it needs.
