Tasted after a 30 minute decant. Dark ruby in colour with lovely aromas of sweet black fruit & oak. On the palate, full bodied tart black fruit, blackberry, boysenberry, sour black cherry, well integrated oak, somewhat herbal & minty, high acidity, high soft tannins with a long finish to spice, pepper & chocolate. This wine is balanced & lovely, at this price point, load up!

Straight out of the gate, this is full of expressive black fruits, the signature licquorice and floral note I always find in this wine, then a lick of sweet spice from the oak. This vintage has an extra layer of depth and deliciousness, has a real wow factor. Great now and even better with a few years in bottle I'm sure.
