May 19, 2011 - Quite deep ruby & garnet colouring. The nose here is bold & big with a slight pleasant plastic-y aroma (a little Brett?) beneath the huge dose of blackberries & strawberries. There's a little dirty hay note in there too. Medium bodied, loads of refreshing acidity. Lots of fruit up front. Blackberries, plums. This is wine is fascinating in its evolution as it opens up. There seems to be so much going on that you'd think you're drinking someone else's wine each taste! There's leather and spice through the middle and the sweet dark fruit carries through the whole time. The finish is structured by a nice supple tannic grip that allows the wine to linger with dried currants & sweet tea. This is quality stuff with loads of character. I'm very interested to see how this develops over the next 5 or so years.
