Very good - Classic coonawarra nose - mint, redfruit and with a touch of brambles - great mix of red and black fruit, acid is there but you can't see it giving wonderful length - the structure is absolutely superb - ultra fine powdery tannins but still with weight - drinking beautifully but still plenty of time - will still develop interest for another 5 years at least - 4 fingers

Superb. Blackberry bush, blackberry, assorted berries and currants, olives, earthiness, bayleaf, mint. Cedar, cigar box in background. Broad frame like structure, supports the wine but doesn't dominate. Great balance and length.

A deep red to purple in colour, the nose shows plum and violets that have already started to integrate with leathery oak.
The wine is built in a savoury mode with framing tannins that persists from start to finish the highlight. In terms of fruit, drying blackberry is most prevalent on the palate with some richer blueberry providing a softer element on the finish.
The wine has excellent structure and its true class will slowly unravel in years to come. Review Link - www.winereviewer.com.au (drink from 2018-2025)
