Deep dark cherries, must pair with steak. Must have time to breath as first taste is sharp and full of tannins. Longer you wait, the more it opens up. Delicious wine.

Owen Bargreen (95) - Coming from this old vineyard first planted back in 1984. Some new American oak was used (24%) as this offers black pepper and coffee grounds alongside creme de cassis. The palate is soft and refined with silky tannins that combine with rich dark fruits alongside black tea and espresso grounds on the palate. Rich and viscous, this is a stunning effort from a tough vintage. Drink 2024-2030.
