Intense olive, raison and tomato on the nose. Palate is rich and full bodied, with an almost sweet feeling followed by black pepper, herbs, oak and an espresso-like finish. Rich and flavorful but its richness should be accompanied by richly flavored food.

This wine came highly recomended to me so i was expecting good things. Unfortunatly it comes out of the gate rather flat. There is definitly complexity in here with euceliptus and lots of herbaciousness showing. Tannins are tightly wound and light with moderate + acid and big fruit. All the building blocks are here but there is no vibrancy, like its lost its soul. Very Good Quality. 85 pts. Drink - 2010.

Very dark purple with nice, slow forming legs. Peppers, fresh scents and oak cover the moderate bouquet. Tobacco, oak and cherries round out the flavours in this smooth drinking (14% alcohol) wine. A good mouth swish reveals the tannins and brings out pepper. Enjoyable!

Deep purple colour. Aroma of fresh berrries, hint of citrus and ? lavender. Rich, smooth mouth feel, mellow tannins and dried fruit.
