| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Attractive, smoky, intense, ripe plum-cherry nose with some cedary mocha-chocolate notes. Fairly dry, medium-full bodied, well structured, dense, smooth, spicy, juicy, smoky, faintly peppery, smooth, spicy, juicy, ripe plum-cherry puree flavours with a lingering, cedar-tinged finish. Has 14.5% alcohol and 5 g/L residual sugar with a screwcap closure. A second bottle tasted (not rated) for whatever reason didn’t show well (despite the screwcap closure) and had some bitter, lactic, herbal notes. |

| TASTING NOTE: The second release from the close planted Estate vineyard planted in '05, 70% whole bunches, 30% whole berries, open-fermented, matured in French puncheons for 14 months, with a further 14 months in bottle before release. This is an exercise in power, bay leaf staring down any attempt to add red fruits, the tannins of the same ilk, ditto oak. Despite the power, the balance and synergy of the components is undeniable. Special Value. Drink By: 2035. Score - 97 (James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au, Aug. 1, 2017) |
