TASTING NOTE: Small batch open-fermented, 14 months maturation in American and French oak. Deep purple crimson; a totally convincing step up the quality ladder from Davey Brothers, with greater depth to its bouquet and medium to full-bodied palate alike, the theme of black fruits, dark chocolate and balanced tannins providing a seriously good wine at the price. Drink By: 2033. Special Value. Score - 94 (James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au, July 27, 2015) |
