A wine with special qualities. In spite of its 16 years of age it was still a bright crimson, with aromas of dark cherry and plum. It was medium body with complex flavours of spice and liquorice through a long finish.

Very nice. Beechworth has a distinctive flavour, more cherries. Tends to be lighter than Heathcote or Barossa. Big fan of Brokenwood, maybe a touch over priced as a rule. The Indigo I drank over 3 sessions, 2nd night it was at its best, sophisticated and complex, pleasant on the palate. Lost its flavour by day 3 but still v quaffable. Paid 50, worth between 30-50.

Three days in the Hunter Valley, 13 Cellar Doors, 115 wines; 2/24/2011-2/26/2011 (Hunter Valley, Australia): Big fruit on the nose; spicy and balanced. Quite nice. The palate is balanced, with nice reduced red fruits, some pepper, and cinnamon. Coffee cake on the finish, along with the coffee, which is a totally different direction than expected from the nose and palate. There is some typical spice and pepper, too, with nice drying tartness. Pretty darn tasty.

Purple colour; nose lifted dark cherry. Palate refined, balanced, savoury and delicious.
