A Superb Heathcote red with power to burn.

This is second release of the new top of the range red from Sanguine Estate, which honours the Italian roots of the Hunter family. Outstanding, super saturated, inky black colour with very deep, black purple hue. The nose is a touch restrained upon first sniff but gradually opens up to reveal aromas of blackberry, liquorice, confectionary and spice. The palate explodes with rich, voluptuous, ripe blackberry, liquorice and black plum flavours followed by some confectionary, light toast and spice. Totally mouthfilling and super concentrated. Very fine grained, perfectly integrated tannins. Outstanding length and persistence with exceptionally long aftertaste of blackberry, liquorice, spice and blackpepper. The wine would have scored a point or two higher if the nose showed more lift and character.
