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.

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.
