  Close to prime time drinking with lots of life left. Complex & refined with near perfect balance.

  Captivating nose of black fruit, thyme, lavender and a hint of cedar.
  
  Silky and serene on the palate, with a deep and balanced juice. The wine is rich yet delicate, spherical and textured at the same time. There is a lot of harmony with this lavender and thyme which dominate, on a bed of black fruits and tobacco in the second half of the mouth. The wine is really tasty, it is sapid and structured. Beautiful saline finish on a powdery length.
  
  An excellent Brunello.

  At a private dinner Sandy Bay, Tasmania. This wine opened absolutely consistently with a deep yet clear cherry red colour and an striking nose of dark cherry, redcurrant and cedar with touches of fine tobacco, lavender, rose and thyme. The palate shows rich and spherical fruit balanced by a savoury field of herbs and minerals leading into a long and fine tannin finish. This remains a distinctive wine of character and texture that usually stands out in any setting. Just delicious yet serious.

  A most divine wine: dark, powerful, silky. Notably, this profound conclusion was attained 3 days after opening. While admittedly the initial expression was still impressive on day 1, a higher level of polished complexity on day was 3 was an exceptional surprise and I luckily had nearly half a bottle left to further confirm my assertions. Let this baby sleep another few years and you will be handsomely rewarded.
