Description
"This has all the complex, comforting and fragrant charm that Castagna has made a trademark with this wine, there's liquorice and graphite, red and darker plum fruits, coal smoke, dark chocolate and charcuterie, smoky nuances and toasted eastern spices. The flavors follow suit with sarsaparilla and liquorice into blood plum and dark chocolate, silky smooth, neatly defined tannins hold long and true. Drink now through to 2025." - 94 Points, James Suckling (reviewed in Aug 2016)
"Deep, dark red/purple colour with a bouquet of brooding black fruits and a chaffy, dried herb overlay. The palate is soft and fleshy, medium to full-bodied and smoothly textured, with fine ripe tannins and a long carry. A graceful wine, clean and essency, albeit less spicy than usual. (A very small percentage of viognier)" - 94 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review (reviewed Jan 2016)
