  Real deep crimson. Lovely strong black fruit on the nose. Real depth to the nose. Spice, faint pirazine, herb, sweet sweet ripe friut, vanilla, tobacco and cedar. Nose grew with more air.
  Palate is quite a reflection of the nose. Very ripe black fruit, tannins soft but giving support, acidity judged perfectly, finish is long, satisfying and flavorsome. Quite full bodied.
  I really like this. Given the palate structure, I feel it has such potential for aging and upside.

  Still very dark purple in colour with only a tiny bit of bricking. A powerful nose of blackfruits, mint and oak notes. The palate is still powerful as well, medium to full bodied, with similar flavours as the noise on show. A bold, exuberant wine, as Majella cabs normally are. But they do settle down a little with some age, as this one has, although it's still a big wine with some overt oak notes remaining. But the fruit, tannins, acid and oak are pretty well balanced, and this should last quite a while yet (A-).

  Still young, yet a very solid well rounded wine. Great fruit, bold tannins, incredibly sound wine.

  Deep red in colour, the nose is restrained with graphite and blackurrant .
  
  The wine is medium bodied showing cassis and blackberry, but lacks the depth on the finish that one would expect from the 2006 vintage, there is also a slight metallic twang.
