Rather assertive nose off ripe dark fruit spices and black tea, packed together to deliver an overall powerful but elegant impression. On the palate it's round, full and precise.

Spanish Introduction (Dan Murphy's, Lane Cove): Savoury, strawberry, vanilla, slightly meaty and gamey underpin. Juicy, medium plus intensity acidity tightly textured woody tannins, strawberry tends to jammy and persists beneath this with a lick of cream, vanilla and an almost rice pudding note, long, polished, balanced, nice.

Deep ruby Med+ intensity on nose: Red cherry, blackberry, pepper. Very strong secondary of cedar, vanilla, smoke. Mushroom. This wine is developing. Palate is dry, high acidity, high tannins, high alcohol, med+ body. Flavor intensity med+. Red cherry, blackberry, cedar, plum, leather, vanilla. Long finish. Outstanding wine. Can rink now but has potential for further aging.
