Deep magenta/crimson. Vivid blueberry, satsuma plum and boysenberry fruits cut with exotic spice, Luxardo cherries, pan juices, turned earth, licorice, dark chocolate and purple floral top notes. Plush and structured with chewy, chalky tannins and a pastille-like swell to the acidity. The finish is full bodied but harmonious, savoury and pure. - 94 Points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
The block was planted in 1997 and has three distinct sections, rockier at the top down to free-draining sandy red/brown loam at the bottom. The loam tends to give a darkness to the berry fruit profile and silky tannin structure to the wine. It also allows the rustic, ferrous aspects – a key part of this grape’s make-up - to reverberate in the background while the fruit intensity rises to the fore.
