Tasting Notes
Plum, blackberries and chocolate aromas complement a palate filled with red berry fruit, warm spice and sweet vanilla flavours influenced by high quality French oak. Fine tannins give structure completing a mouth-filling textural wine that drinks brilliantly as a young wine but will continue to develop with careful cellaring for the next 10 years.

Scores
94 / 100"A full-bodied blend stacked with all things vinous: plum, blackberry, mocha and chocolate on the bouquet and palate alike. Maturation in French oak (plenty new) has rounded the abundant ripe tannins into soft piles of support. The balance, too, is very good."
- James Halliday
