Good mix of secondary oak and smoked game flavours mixed with softened dark purple fruit, and a savoury palate. Finishing strong but fine tannins. Balanced well made wine ( Chris Dix strutting his stuff ) Excellent drinking window with a 1 hr decant.

This was a suburb bottle of wine, good fruit, well rounded and balanced and just starting to show a bit of age, but in a good way. For my taste it's ready to drink now.

Although reviews and FOx Creek reckon the wine is to be consumed by 2015 The bottle we had was still fresh with many years in it. Incredible nose. Silky fine tannins with some acidity. Full of berry fruits and a looong after taste. A cracker of a wine!

Deep color, lovely nose ripe black fruit with dark spice hints. Rich and soft on palate, multiple layers repeating the dark fruit and spice of the nose. Harmonious. Very long
