Extremely intense purple colour. Spicy, very juicy, ripe plum-cherry puree nose with some slightly smoky cedar notes. Dryish, medium-full bodied, harmonious, very juicy, ripe plum-black cherry flavours with a lingering, cedary, bright, cassis-tinged finish. This half bottle has 14.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L160VLHBSVSH375 on the back label. Screwcap closure. Better than the 2014 (*+/**) with 87-points that was released on June 11, 2016 at $12.95. TONY ASPLER / 88-points - Savoury-medicinal nose of blackberries with cedary oak; full-bodied, richly extracted blackberry flavour with lively acidity and gripping tannins. |

Gold Medal winner at the New Zealand International Wine Show 2017. TASTING NOTE: This is very decadent and rich with blackberry, spice, meat and earth character. Full body, dense and juicy yet always refined and fresh. Classy. Needs a year or two to soften. Score - 94 (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, Jan. 2, 2018) |
