Far too young now for my liking but this showing some serious potential. The very familiar blend shining through. Fruit is a bit muted at the moment, but reasonable balance for a long haul. Delicate and quality fruit is apparent. Currently quite heavy on the oak, dusty tannins a little dominant. Trajectory is seemingly on track for some great reward upon careful cellaring. Will revisit in 5+ years. Meanwhile worth trying to secure some more.

Tasted this at the Penfolds Wine Dinner hosted by The Famous Kitchen.
Dark brooding purple in colour. A very good attempt at making a Bordeaux. Juicy, with blueberries on the nose, aged leather and toffee.
The presence of petit verdot makes this wine more interesting than it should be.
Well integrated and synced.
