HEIRLOOM VINEYARDS |
This one is a first for me. it has an extremely deep intense purple colour. Very intense, complex, sandalwood-driven, faintly herbaceous nose with lots of intense, ripe, plummy, crancherry fruit with some black cardamom spice notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, very dense, mouthfilling, rich, intense, ripe, dried black cherry fruit flavours and a lingering, very complex, cedary, somewhat grippy finish. Has 14.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L1274 on the lower part of the glass bottle. |

TASTING NOTE: Wild fermented; matured 16 months in mostly seasoned American and French oak barrels. Dashing, slick and transfixing. Inky blackberry, black cherry and satsuma plum fruit delivering density with impressive definition, lifted by violet perfume and set to a grand foundation of fresh licorice. Elena Brooks' signature fine-ground tannins carry a long finish. Drink by: 2034. Special Value. Score - 96 (Tyson Stelzer, winecompanion.com.au, Aug. 13, 2021) |
