Description
"An intense aroma of ripe Satsuma plum, mocha, vanilla, and savoury notes combined with hints of cedar and sweet spices. Rich, sweet fruit is balanced wonderfully with briary, sweet spices and lovely, silky tannins. A full-bodied, textural wine, showing great complexity with hints of cedar and allspice flowing through to the lengthy, bramble fruit finish." - Winemaker Notes
"Deep colour, with a faint trace of purple remaining in the rim; the bouquet shows a lot of oak and is all about smoked smallgoods, toasted barrels, browned spices, raisiny fruitcake and graphite, while the palate is plush and velvet smooth at the same time as it's concentrated, fleshy and deep. Brandy-soused raisiny fruitcake notes linger, suggesting high alcohol. The beginnings of tertiary characters show from development. A serious red, velvet textured with a core of sweet fruit and long-term potential. Drink from 2025 through to 2038. " - 94 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
