    Tormore Blueprint Toasted Barrels 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
    $159. 99
    Bottle
    $1919.88 Dozen
    ABV: 48%

    Other reviews... The ‘replica’ wave shows no sign of retreating, and this design strongly evokes the old official Tormores from the 1970s. You’ll say those were excellent!... Toasted casks are a different breed from the usual charred ones typically used for whisky, but a strong toast will also leave its mark on the contents, leaning towards coffee yet with fewer tannins. Colour: straw. Nose: for the moment we’re on mineral and citrusy tension, which brings to mind some young Pulteneys we’ve just sampled. It’s fresh, with a fatty side on the nose (sunflower oil, green banana, peanut butter) but, thank goodness, there’s no avalanche of coconut and vanilla in sight. A few dandelion petals fluttering in the background. Mouth: there’s a distinctly spicy and resinous edge here, one wonders whether it’s European oak—or even Mizunara? Also heaps of maquis honey with a punchy character, and a definite juniper note that’ll have you sailing straight across the North Sea to Holland. Let’s not forget the speculoos, which are also quite dominant. All in all, it comes across as more of a blend component, and in fact that’s exactly what it is, the future ‘new’ Tormores won’t be flying solo in this particular style. Finish: hints of mint liqueur and turmeric. Comments: very unusual and leaning more towards the spirit of some young Germanic distilleries, I’d say. That said, it’s very well executed. 85 points - whiskyfun.com

    Rich, dense and powerful yet not over bearing with a long sweeping finish.

    Eligo is made from the most exceptional parcels of fruit available to John and Tim Duval. Comprising 62% Barossa Valley and 38% Eden Valley Shiraz, the exceptional 2021 vintage was sourced from old vineyards in the Ebenezer (Hoffmann), Krondorf (Stoll) and Moppa (Chapman) sub regions of the Barossa Valley and the Moculta (Fechner) and Mt McKenzie (Knight/Severin) sub regions of the Eden Valley. Maturation took place in French oak (42% new) for a period of 18 months.
    Impenetrable inky black heart with a deeply saturated dark red black hue. Wafting from the glass with terrific intensity are heady aromas of ripe blackberry, liquorice, dark plum and dark chocolate followed by some vanillin oak, earthy mocha and spice notes. Rich and opulent the palate is drenched in a tidal wave of blackberry, liquorice and dark plum fruits. Vanillin oak, earthy mocha, subtle fennel and spice elements are draped across the back half. Dense and powerful yet not over bearing it has beautifully structured tannins and a long sweeping finish that embodies both refinement and Barossa’s trademark plush feel.
    Drink over the next 8-10 years.

    Other Reviews….
    From the stellar '21 vintage, the Eligo represents the best of the year and is a split of a range of amazing vineyard sites from the Barossa (62%) and Eden (38%) valleys. It's concentrated and essence-like with deep, resonant blackberry, black cherry and Doris plum fruits with hints of clove, cinnamon, purple flowers, licorice, dark chocolate, cedar, olive tapenade, pan juices and earth. Thick shouldered but balanced and harmonious with melt-in-the-mouth, chocolatey tannins and exceptional length of flavour. Drink by 2045.

Rich and full, the palate carries an airy feel with oily baked bread and yeast lees flavours prevalent over strawberry and apple fruits. Some roasted almond characters also chime in.

    Bladnoch The Dragon Series Iteration III The Casks Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Lowlands, SCOTLAND
    Reduced from $220.00
    $119. 99
    Bottle
    $1439.88 Dozen
    ABV: 49.9%

    The Casks is the third iteration in the Dragon Series, this time highlighting the process of coopering. Crafting Bladnoch’s barrels requires consideration of the oak species, growth environment, and technical aspects of toasting, charring, and seasoning. This expression is bottled at 49.9% ABV and combines the richness of first-fill American oak bourbon wood with the complexity of first-fill Spanish oak Sherry casks, delivering a more robust profile that's been summed up as "...complex, herbal, grassy, spicy and a little alcoholic with the sweetness of jam and a significant sherry influence". (whiskybase.com) 49.9% Alc./Vol. 2000 bottles produced.

    Other reviews... Colour: gold. Nose: I’m finding a touch of shoe polish and of course a good deal of walnuts, green or aged, a classic sherry marker. It then veers towards bitter orange, always a development I enjoy, and also a bit of modelling clay that takes one straight back to childhood. A few hints of soot and dunnage, even a whiff of hessian. Could there be a little peat in this baby? Mouth: it’s a bit like the bourbon version, only drier still, properly on green walnut and even ashes. Still that very grassy, tight character, this certainly wasn’t a sweet sherry cask, or so it seems. That said, we don’t really find any peat on the palate, the impression on the nose seems to have been but a fleeting moment. Finish: long, still on those notes of green walnut and modelling clay. Comments: I think I slightly preferred the bourbon version, which was more direct and fresher, but this drier, more sherried take is also very good. 84 points - whiskyfun.com

    Bladnoch The Dragon Series Iteration I The Field Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Lowlands, SCOTLAND
    Reduced from $220.00
    $119. 99
    Bottle
    $1439.88 Dozen
    ABV: 46.7%

    "...a great thing that two or three distilleries—perhaps even fewer—continue to preserve this delightfully simple and cheerful style. " - whiskyfun.com

    Bladnoch released The Dragon Series back in 2023 as a collection of five single malts, drawing inspiration from the Dragon Curve, a fractional curve in mathematics that showcases predictability and chaos, natural order and beauty. The concept was that after blending, each expression in the series should capture a pivotal moment in the whisky-making process, highlighting the scale of variability, while celebrating the beauty that can emerge along the way.

    Number one in the series, The Field, tells the journey from field to distillery. Each year, barley is harvested and undergoes malting, serving as the primary raw material for the distillery. But before it arrives at the facility, it's already been shaped by diverse forces of nature, environment, and the malting process. Matured in re-fill bourbon casks, the resulting whisky is refreshing and sweet, capturing the essence of the paddock, with notes of toasted barley and floral cut grass, and a palate featuring a combination of citrus apples and creamy shortbread. 2000 bottles produced. 46.7% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... This is a no nonsense Bladnoch, back to the basics with a spirit forward whisky which gives you all the tastes of the lowlands. - whiskybase.com

    ...One might often think that modern whisky is an industrial product, made in facilities run by two or three people and some quasi-quantum computers. But then you read this on Bladnoch’s website and feel reassured: ‘The Dragon Series showcases the scale of variability encountered throughout the process, which is seemingly chaotic and unpredictable.’ That’s exactly what we love, is it not? Colour: pale white wine. Nose: apple cake and lemon cake, neither quite baked enough, which really brings out the cereal and yeasty notes we always enjoy. A few spring flowers and very gentle touches of honey. Feels rather close to those Bladnochs from the 1990s, really. Mouth: indeed, very typical, somewhere between Fanta and 7Up, fresh lemon juice, then fresh barley and orange juice. Nothing chaotic here, I find this very much ‘Bladnoch au naturel.’ Finish: medium length, still on barley and citrus, with a finale of green apple and a faint touch of coffee. Comments: I find this very pretty and refreshing, and it’s a great thing that two or three distilleries—perhaps even fewer—continue to preserve this delightfully simple and cheerful style. 85 points - whiskyfun.com

    Bladnoch The Dragon Series Iteration IV The Ageing Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Lowlands, SCOTLAND
    Reduced from $220.00
    $119. 99
    Bottle
    $1439.88 Dozen
    ABV: 51.5%

    A darker colour and higher ABV are noteworthy on this, the fourth iteration in the Dragon Series, focussing on perhaps the most mysterious process in whisky making - maturation. The seasonal fluctuations in temperature and humidity, warehouse type and location, as well as the evaporation of the “angels’ share” all contribute to significant complexity to manage. For this edition, ageing took place in red wine hogsheads and first-fill bourbon casks chosen from the darkest and coldest areas in Bladnoch’s warehousing. On the nose, the scent of polished oak and honey come with an earthy undertone that suggests its warehouse origins. The palate features a sweet oak taste with wild blackberry notes. The finish is both sweet and warm, with a gentle spiciness. 51.1% Alc,.Vol.

    Other reviews... quite sweet, nutty, creamy, malty, but blindly I would definitely guess the finish in rum or red wine barrels... I also smell butter cookies and some green herbs... - whiskybase.com

    Bladnoch The Dragon Series Iteration II The Spirit Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

    Reduced from $220.00
    $119. 99
    Bottle
    $1439.88 Dozen
    ABV: 48.3%

    Number two in Bladnoch's Dragon Series, named 'The Spirit', captures the first stage of distillery production, taking the malted barley from the field through three pivotal processes: mashing, fermentation, and distillation. Each step amplifies the potential for variability, with numerous factors like gravities, temperatures, and cut points requiring an understanding by whisky makers, ensuring the consistent quality of the new make spirit. The resulting floral and fruity distillery character then moves on to the next stage – maturation in oak. Bottled at 48.3% ABV, 'Spirit' was drawn from a blend of first-fill and re-fill bourbon casks. On the nose, you might find pear drops with fresh cut grass, typical of Lowland styles. On the palate, expect malted cereals with boiled sweets and a hint of cracked pepper, while the finish is refreshing yet warm. In short, "a nice ex-bourbon profile." 2000 bottles produced.

    Other reviews... We had rather enjoyed The Field I earlier this year (WF 85). They say 'The Dragon Series is a tribute to the timeless power struggle between science and nature' An idea that's no doubt causing quite a stir over in Washington D.C. these days. Colour: very pale white wine. Nose: dry as a stick, showing plenty of grassiness, porridge, a fair few oatcakes and a touch of earthy roots. A smattering of very small pears over in the fruit department, which speaks of youth. Mouth: fruity notes of barley syrup and baked apples to start, then we're back on porridge and grains, the whole thing growing more malty and rather taut as it goes. A few fruits that haven’t quite ripened, but that's just how we like it. The texture is on the oily side. Finish: of medium length, returning to grassy tones with hints of lemon zest. Comments: the focus on nature is clearly present, it would have gone down well with J.J. Rousseau. I just find this simply very good. 85 points. - whiskyfun.com

    "the sweetest and most expressive of the whole series..." - whiskybase.com

    The iteration with the highest ABV at 53.1%, also marks the final instalment in Bladnoch's five part series. The Decision hones in on the skills involved in the sample room where the decisions are made for the final blends. Here, all the variabilities and unpredictabilities are considered and weighed against each other, with an eye on future prospects and a commitment to delivering a consistent and sustainable whisky experience. Sourced from a blend of Hungarian Tokaji wine casks and Spanish Canasta Sherry casks, says one taster, "It's a bit like mulled wine and gingerbread. Sweet and dry at the same time. Exciting." (whiskybase.com).

    Other reviews... This whisky is the sweetest and most expressive of the whole series, but with the surprisingly driest finish of all. It is quite sharp alcoholic thanks to the higher proportion of alcohol, but at the same time there is something gingerbread spicy and quite distinct sweet sherry... I quite liked it. I'm glad that I could pre-taste the entire Dragon series, but at the same time I'm glad that I didn't buy the whole bottles or the whole set... - whiskybase.com

    Rich, succulent black fruits framed by firm, chewy tannins which impart a muscular feel.

    Run by Laurent Charvin this small family estate has vineyard holdings of 8 hectares in Chateauneuf du Pape and 13 hectares in Cotes du Rhone. Certified organic the average age of the vines is over 50 years old. These Grenache based wines follow traditional winemaking techniques with no de-stemming and all aging takes place in cement tanks. Charvin’s Côtes du Rhône is regularly rated as one of the very best from this area and perhaps it is not surprising as the vines for this cuvee border directly on to the appellation for Chateauneuf du Pape in the northern sector where they are located.
    Deep dark red black core with a dark red hue. Seductive black raspberry, liquorice and black cherry scents sail out of the glass with impressive lift. Scorched earth, herbs du Provence and peppered meat notes ensue. Rich, succulent black raspberry, liquorice and ripe black cherry fruits engulf the mouth framed by firm, chewy tannins which impart a muscular feel.

    Indri Trini Single Malt Indian Whisky (700ml)
    INDIA
    $114. 99
    Bottle
    $1379.88 Dozen
    ABV: 46%

    From Piccadily Distillers – the makers of Indri – 'Trini' is reported to be the first Indian whisky drawn from three different cask types - first-fill Bourbon, x French wine and PX sherry casks. It opens with a rich, redolent nose, laced with spices and sherry soaked fruits, shifting focus to cocoa and a light dry Madeira lift. Full bodied at 46%, the flavours are vibrant, medium sweet and quasi-tropical, suggesting mango chutney and papaya, bristling with warming spices; the finish reveals sherried overtones, drying oak and a lingering peppery quality. It's robustly styled and makes a strong first impression - also the most accessible and price-friendly of the Indri line up. Awarded Best Indian Single Malt at the 2022 World Whisky Awards. Non-chill filtered.

    Other reviews... An impressive single malt from the foothills of the Himalayas, finished in bourbon, French wine, and PX casks, which bring indulgent aromas of malt, chocolate, plum, damson, black cherry, baked orange, blackened oak, cut grass, and dry spices. The palate boasts dense vanilla, creamed coconut, pepper, baked peach, citrus peel,clove, and pepper, then chocolate ganache, hazelnut, apple, bramble, cassis, and Brazil nuts, with a mouth-coating finish of dark fruits. (5,700 bottles) 92 points - whiskyadvocate.com

    ...As I understand it, this is the first Indian whisky that is blended from three different types of casks. We have seen how a blend of three casks can make an interesting dram (Benriach and Balvenie come to mind), and this is equally interesting and compelling. The three casks used in this Indri are ex-bourbon, ex-French red wine, and ex-PX sherry. Each cask imparts flavours that are discernable and delicious. In some ways this bottle has a bit of a Balcones vibe. It is non-chill filtered and no colour added, but is a non-age statement because the climate where this whisky is bottled and aged is of such temperatures that it yields in rapid maturation. This translates to a certain flavour profile that provides a good amount of depth. Depth is a good word for this whisky. It delivers a depth of flavours that are compelling and work very well together. This is a strong proposition and I will be replacing this bottle when finished. And, it doesn’t hurt to have been on the forefront of things… for once. Well done, Indri. - dramface.com

    This is classically styled but on the expressive and textural end of things, even at what is relatively modest alcohol, with acidity a key driver. Plump with varietal pear notes (both Williams and Bosc), red apple skin, cinnamon and poached apple. This has rolling layers of fruit marked by both generosity – of flavour and feel – and enough reserve, making it an eminently pleasing drink sans food, but also one that will happily hold its own with dishes fresh and bright to those with a bit more weight and fatty intensity. This bottling was an early benchmark for the grape here, and still is. Drink by 2029.

    Fiano originates from a province in Campania, east of Naples and it’s perfectly suited to the McLaren Vale climate, so much so that it has become the regions fastest growing white wine category. Coriole planted Fiano in 2001 and their first commercial release was the 2005 vintage.
    Fifteen percent of the blend was barrel fermented in older French hogsheads.

    Brilliant pale straw colour with a watery hue. Fresh lime and Granny Smith apple scents jump out of the glass followed by hints of pear, subtle Mediterranean herb and mineral notes. Crunchy pear, lime and green apple fruits are delivered with plenty of intensity and textural volume over a back drop of mediterranean herbs and minerals. Zesty acidity leading into a long, snappy finish.
    Drink over the next year.

    Mostly in tank, but also some complex-making nuances, with a small fraction seeing concrete ferment, some with a day or so on skins, a little in older oak – bit parts, perhaps, but all contributing meaningfully. Golden apples, fragrantly lilting orchard blossoms, quince, peach, green pear, citrus pith, both lemon and orange-skinned citrus, a mandarin/tangerine vein. It’s an effortless thing, easily textural, yet also crisp, with a lot of love to give. Drink by 2025.

    Rich and sumptuous with a youthful freshness, robust structure and long, dense conclusion.

    Chris Hatcher, affectionately known as Hatch, has been a winemaker for almost 50 years including more than 35 years at Wolf Blass where he picked up numerous awards including the Jimmy Watson Trophy and three time IWSC international winemaker of the year. Having recently retired from the corporate winemaking scene Hatch has embarked on his own personal venture for which his first releases have received widespread critical acclaim.

    A blend of several vineyards across the Mclaren Vale region, Vesey takes its name from Chris Hatcher’s great-grandfather Alf Vesey who started winemaking at Penfolds in 1883. He worked at Magill for an amazing 69 years and was the Master Winemaker for 47 of those years during which time he famously mentored Max Schubert, the creator of Penfolds Grange.

    Super saturated inky black heart with an equally deep dark purple black hue. Heady ripe blackberry, liquorice and dark plum scents waft through the nostrils complimented by some ripe blueberry, toasty vanillin cedar and peppered earth notes. Rich, sumptuous blackberry, liquorice and dark plum fruits are delivered with impressive intensity and opulence. Spicy vanillin cedar, earth, subtle dark chocolate and peppered fennel elements the back drop. Powerful and carrying a slightly muscular feel it has sturdy yet polished tannins and a youthful freshness. Concludes long and dense with a robust structure.
    Drink over the next 8-10 years.

    It is one of those things, that when you get good fruit and a good winemaker, good things happen. This is a good thing, a very good thing. It’s a blend of several McLaren Vale vineyards made with largely traditional techniques and using a mix of predominantly seasoned French oak but with an important contribution of American oak and a little new French. It’s beautifully soft and supple but there is a chalky acidity and fine tannin structure providing definition and direction. Love the complementary characters of red and black fruits with the seductive perfumes of blueberry. Drink 2024-2034.

    Rich and long yet light on its feet with a sophisticated Burgundian like finish.

    The crown jewel in the Dalrymple collection, the Mt. Lord Vineyard is located on a small, angular and varied landscape that lays on the protected easterly slope of the Pontos Hills. The vineyard rows run up the hillside from 134m to 156m above sea level, precariously positioned between a rock ledge below and steep barren hillside above.
    The fruit was handpicked with a small amount of the bunches placed directly into the ferment. Maturation took place in French oak barriques (30% new) for a period of 10 months.

    Dark red core with black toned edges and a semi translucent red hue. Soaring through the nostrils is a complex array or red to dark cherry, strawberry, violet, rhubarb, dried herb and gentle clove aromatics. Bramble, forest floor and spice notes are also evident. Rich and long yet light on its feet, red to dark cherry, flashes of sour cherry, wild strawberry and rhubarb flavours are layered across the expansive palate. Spicy vanillin cedar, bramble, dried herb and forest floor elements lend further interest. Possessing a supple texture and peacocks tail like power wave, it has seamlessly integrated tannins and acidity with a long, sophisticated Burgundian like finish.
    Drink over the next 6-8 years.

    Deep-ish red with a tinge of purple and a bouquet of black cherry with traces of beetroot and Campari—perhaps from whole-bunch fermentation. The wine is full and generous, even opulent on the palate, with terrific power and density thanks to high extract and concentrated fruit. The tannins are abundant and supple, surrounding a deep core of rich flavour. Long and super-satisfying aftertaste. A seriously impressive pinot and a big step up from the previous vintage.

    A dry, exotically flavoured white that has a zingy feel to it.

    Although Malbec and Mendoza are the best known names in Argentine winemaking, Torrontés is taking centre stage a few hundred miles to the northwest, in the Cafayate region of Salta. It is believed that varietal was brought to the country by Spanish Jesuits in the 18th century.
    Torrontés is found in the world’s highest vineyards, resting at 5,000 to 6,000 feet above sea level in Argentina. The high altitude growing conditions translate beautifully to bright floral aromas and delightfully crisp acidity in the wine.
    Brilliant water like core with highlights of green around the edges. Aromas of pear, lychee and rosewater jump from the glass followed by a faint whiff of musk and some ginger notes. Mouth watering lychee, lime and pear fruits line the palate with infusions of rosewater and ginger also chiming in. Crunchy acidity with a dry exotic finish that has a zingy feel to it.

    Concentrated, tense and steely with a long, bracing finish.

    Brokenwood’s ILR Reserve Semillon is released only from the best years. The fruit for this year’s ILR Reserve was sourced from the Oakey Creek Vineyard on Oakey Creek Road in the heart of Pokolbin. The Oakey Creek Vineyard was first planted in 1982 by the pioneering Drayton’s family and is today one of the Hunter Valley’s most awarded sites.
    Brilliant very pale straw colour with green tinted edges and a watery hue. Intense lemon and lime scents carry a gentle oily toast like overlay with some Granny Smith apple, bees wax and slatey mineral notes also chiming in. Driving lemon, lime and green apple skin flavours overlay a subtle oily toast, delicate bees wax and flinty mineral back drop. Concentrated, tense and steely with crisp acidity creating a chiselled effect across the long, bracing finish.

    This wine is an unmistakable ILR and is one of the season's highlights. Alluring smoky tones and hints of lanolin adorn the ripe, lemony fruit. The sweet-natured palate is generous, flavoursome and powerful with moreish lemon butter tones. The rate of progression in this wine is driven by the warmth of the '18 season. That said, it is no less lovely, and the upside is that it's ready to drink now, so you won't need to wait years to enjoy it. Drink by 2028.

    Toni Paterson – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion

    Always one of the superstars of Hunter Valley Semillon, the ILR is never released without at least a good five years ageing under its belt, at which time it is usually just beginning to show the glories that are ahead of it. The vineyard source varies from vintage to vintage, depending on which shines best – so if none measure up, then no ILR. This vintage is from the Oakey Creek vineyard, planted in 1982 and which the team purchased in 2021, although they have been sourcing fruit from it for several decades. This is a cracking ILR, indeed a cracking Hunter Sem, and, while it is drinking impressively now, has two decades of improvement ahead of it. A lemon/green hue. Early days, but already some appealing complexity. There are hints of lemon butter on toast, but surely much more to come. There are notes of figs and stone fruits and limes. Even that whiff of ginger. Immaculate balance, bright acidity, ideal focus and impressive length, this is a wine which has so much more to offer in the coming years. And whilst one can never confirm or deny such matters, it is entirely possible that, as I sit and write up all today’s tasting notes, there is a chilled glass of this very wine next to me. But, as they say, I couldn’t possibly confirm that. Drink 2024-2044.

    This would have to be one of the front-runners for the most loved and recognisable rosés in Australia, amiright? Fruit characters of raspberry, redcurrant and ruby-red grapefruit with a cheeky splash of cranberry and watermelon for good measure. Some strawberry, too, on the palate, plus citrus zest, just a hint of spice and wildflower top notes. Dry, slinky and dangerously drinkable; it sure is easy to see why this is such a crowd favourite.

    Bordeaux blend from Bordeaux, but matured in both French and American oak. Made using 56% cabernet sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, and 41% merlot. 35% new French oak, 17% new American oak. I listed the price last year at $120. This year the RRP is $100.
    Iodine, garrique herbs, ropes of smoky tannin, cloves, herbs and cream. So much assertion to the tannin, so much rust and blood. This wine identifies as Penfolds but is still very French. Personally, I love it. It’s a wine of creamy, curranty flamboyance but also of character. No one likes putting a high score on a “Bordeaux Penfolds” wine but I’m happy to here.

    A blend of encruzado, bical, malvasia fina, cerceal – an exotic array of varieties, though apt in Dão and from older sites.

Quite a bit of flavour and pucker to texture, a good energy, a gastronomic wine in some respects, where more is happening than just refreshment factor. Plenty of charm in that respect, it would be great on a degustation or similar. Drink 2025-2030.

    Inspirited Bitters Heidi's Orange Bitters (250ml)
    AUSTRALIA
    $27. 99
    Bottle
    $335.88 Dozen

    Born from the vibrant spirit of our founder’s late mother and the cherished family moments with her orange trees in their backyard, Heidi’s Orange Bitters is crafted in small batches in Wyong by a father-son pair using Orange Peel and Lemon Myrtle. This inspiration led to a bitters that balances zesty freshness with a subtle, complex depth, making it a versatile companion for both classic and modern cocktails. Start with just a few dashes – the vibrant flavour of Australian orange peel and lemon myrtle means a little goes a long way. Try it in classics like an Old Fashioned or Negroni to lift and freshen the profile, or add it to sparkling water for a refreshing twist.

    A juicy, mid weighted Heathcote Cabernet that has a polished finish.

    Deep midnight black core with a dark red hue.

Juicy dark plum, red to black currant and red liquorice fruits are well fleshed in their feel across the mid weighted palate.

    A love letter to Heathcote cabernet, acknowledging the special connection that the grape and the ancient Cambrian red soil enjoy. What a beauty, seamlessly coming together layered in fragrant black berry fruits, cassis, dark plums, dark roasting herbs, chocolate and woody oak spice. Palate is well structured in ripe tannins, something to build on for the future, but, in the meantime, it is smooth, long, leafy, ripe and utterly delicious. A mighty-fine cab. Drink by 2034.
