TASTING NOTE: A sense of place indeed, communicated by the first whiff of the bouquet, cigar box and dark chocolate close behind cassis fruit; the medium to full-bodied palate brings the expected tannins into play, oak of textural, as much as flavour, importance in a notably well balanced wine. Drink By: 2029. Special Value. Score - 94 (James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au, Jan. 20, 2017) |
