Description
"Deep rich crimson in color. Succulent blue fruits, blackcurrant paste, blackberry and spiced plum aromas are interwoven with savory Dutch licorice, sage, cracked black pepper and cedar. The palate has lovely concentration, with layers of sweet plum, blackberry and licorice, finishing fleshy and well-structured, with rolling chalky tannins." - Winemaker Notes
"Deep ruby/brick-red colour, the bouquet evoking smoked meats, dusty terracotta earth and roasting pan aromas, with savoury/oaky overtones. In the mouth it’s full-bodied and again very dry, savoury and layered with terracotta, bresaola, seed spices and dried herbs galore. Tannins are supple and abundant, still providing a good backbone but mellowing out nicely. It's in a good place right now but has plenty of time left." - 96 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review (Feb 2024)
