Tasting notes:
Powerful intensity of forest berries, such as blueberries and blackberries intertwined with spice overtones of anise and cloves, mixing well with the ripe lift of Satsuma plums and chocolate, all enhanced by well-integrated oak freshness.
Medium-bodied but textured, showing finesse and excellent balance of juicy layers of blackberry, spice, plum and dustings of cocoa. These flavours persist through to a very long lasting velvety smooth finish capped by structured, soft tannins and harmonious oak.
Review:
94 points, James Halliday – Australian Wine Companion
Sourced from three vineyards 45-70yo, crushed separately, 8 days on skins in upright static fermenters, twice-daily pumpovers, run off skins at 2 degrees baume. It's medium-bodied, reflecting the freshness of the fruit and its pliable texture. Oak and tannins both do what is expected of them. Drink by 2033.
