{screwcap, 14%} Deep garnet, minimal aging. Nose is developing, with ripe mulberry aromas with a little coconut twist. Never overly sweet though. Savoury, balanced palate, with fine powdery tannins, medium acidity. Understated wine, of some elegance. Medium weight. Blue-fruited palate. Smooth, medium length finish. Will hold nicely, but I don’t sense great complexity however long it ages. But it’s still very satisfying.

Nose of blackberry, barbecue smoke, and paprika. Palate shows bold fruit, but is restrained by tight tannin and hard acidity. Would improve with time in a decanter (and served a little warmer).

Victoria - Three cellar doors; 12/29/2019-12/31/2019 (Geelong, Nagambie): {screwcap, 14%, A$63} Developing nose; pepper and spice aromas meet loose blackberries and a grainy, stalky character on the palate. Medium weight, low/medium dusty/gritty tannins, fairly even palate. Not so exciting, certainly not for the price; stick with the cabernet I think, although I think cellar time will help a bit.
