Sourced from very low yielding vines (one tonne per acre), the wine was matured in French oak for two years. Excellent opaque black crimson colour with deep black crimson hue. The nose displays lifted ripe blackcurrant, mulberry and mint aromas followed by some subtle cedar and spice background notes. Medium to full bodied the palatepossesses generous ripe blackcurrant fruit along with some choc mint, vanillin cedar and spice. Perfectly balanced velvet smooth tanins. Long blackcurrant, spearmint and vanillin spice aftertaste.
Drink over the next 4-5 years (2012-2017).

Other Reviews….
Exceptionally deep crimson-purple; the wine delivers the promise of the bouquet, the full-bodied palate stacked with blackcurrant and cassis fruit together with appropriately firm tannins. Will live for decades. Drink By 2033. Date tasted: July 2010.
