93 / 100"Very deep red/purple colour with a reserved, oak-tinged, super-ripe fruit aroma and flavour, with hints of prune. It's soft and round, full-bodied and ample, with masses of tannin, which is drying but also supple and not overly intimidating. A whopper!"
- Huon Hooke
Tasting Notes
It's mouth filling, fruit laden mid palate is enhanced by complex flavours of earth, wet stone and hints of leather and spice. This wine has been matured in 50% new French oak hogsheads for 20 months to further enhance its inherent structure. A textural wine to be savoured now, or in 10 to 15 years time
