Matured in a combination of American and French oak for 15 months. Totally opaque black dark red core with a dark red hue. Aromas of dark plum, liquorice and blackberry mix with toasty vanillin cedar, earth and blackpepper. Generous spicy dark plum, blackberry and liquorice fruits cast a rich feel across the medium to full bodied palate with vanillin cedar and light scorched earth sitting underneath. Finishes with a burst of blackpepper. Sturdy tannins provide ample structure but are also polished in their feel. Long, opulent yet robust aftertaste.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 14.5%

Other Reviews….
Estate-grown, hand-picked, matured in American and French oak for 15 months, from a stalwart of the region. Good colour; the complex bouquet ranges through black berry/cherry fruit, spice and Coonawarra earth, which all appear in the full-bodied, balanced and long palate. The tannin structure is in tune with the oak, adding the icing to the cake. Regarded by Zema as outstanding. Drink by 2041.
