Reviews

It’s a bit locked in and compressed initially, but give it some air and it roars out of the glass. Dark cherry, liquorice root, spice and perfume, a ‘mineral’ crushed rock kind of thing happening. Sweep of pumice stone tannin, freshness and cool minty acidity, and a long sweetly tannic finish. Terrific release here. Will age magnificently.
Critic Initials 2 Huon Hooke Critic Rating 2 96 Rating 2 out of 100 Critic Review 2 Medium to full red/purple colour, with a bouquet of earth, raisin, spices and licorice. The wine is rich and concentrated, full-bodied and powerful, with finer, softer tannins and very appealing fleshiness. A very impressive wine of great power and depth, but also the texture to be quite approachable early.
