Winemaker Tasting note: Dark ruby with a slight garnet edge. Aromas and flavours of violets, red berries and cassis with some mocha and cedar. Lively on the palate with robust, ripe tannins that will enable this wine to develop and improve for at least 8 years from vintage.

Critics Ratings
‘Dark and alluring, with freshly roasted Kenya AA coffee, licorice snap and braised fig aromas and flavors rippling over well-integrated structure. This has a loamy underpinning, but shows fresh minerality and drive on the finish. Impressive.’ - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Dec 2009)
