Very much oak on the nose "oak monster", tropical fruit, ripe yellow apples. Buttery, fudge, candied apples, but a lovely smokiness, fresh acidity with balanced alcohol. Good wine to drink now and about 2-4 years.

After seven hours in the decanter, I finally got to try this piece of art. Very much Bordeaux on the nose, but the fruitiness revealed new world style on the palate. A lot of dark fruit with a lovely black currant domination, well integrated oak with a fresh elegant acidity. The relatively high alcohol (14%) were not found on the palate, wonderful balance and complexity. Let be in the celler for a couple of years or decant the wine for 5-7 hours before serving. Good job Dominus Estate, damn good job!
