The nose is elegant – the palate balanced. It has beautiful varietal fruit expression with hints of cigar box and butterscotch all well integrated with the tannins.

Excellent! A perfect blend – very Bordeaux in style. Distinctive cool climate characters and still amazingly youthful. Has an abundance of vibrant varietal fruit with great tannins.

Great concentration of leafy/brambly and eucalypt regional characters obvious here on both the nose and palate. Good use of oak and lovely tannins softened with age. Drinking well.

Mixed aromas of fresh black fruits and good oak. Delicious, soft and sweet in the mouth with the oak tending to dominate the long lingering flavours. 5+
