Matured for 18 months in French oak barriques. Dense pitch black in colour with a deep dark red black hue. Nosing offers up blackcurrant and plum scents which mix with cedary tobacco, dried herb and spicy earth notes. Medium to full in body with a plush mouth feel, rich blackcurrant and plum fruits overlay a lingering back drop of cedary tobacco characters, dusty earth and spice. Dryish finish with slightly chalky tannins and a medium length aftertaste.

The Wine Front – Comfort wine, like falling into a plush old couch. Blueberry, dark cherry, a little coconut and nougat, some aniseed and spice. Medium to full-bodied, lavish sweet dark cherry and blue fruits, some mint and cuddly nougat oak, fresh but bold, stony tannin profile, and a juicy berry and vanilla finish. Old school, but really good in that way. I think it’s most excellent. Drink 2022-2030+ - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
James Halliday – Old vines planted by Italians and Greeks, those who introduced the joy of drinking wine to the contemporary Australian table. A propitious detour from the Germanic influence over yonder. A savoury, full-bodied expression founded on a structural refinement that other cultivars fail to provide in these hot parts. A sluice of evergreen tannins framed by a morass of palate-staining currant and herbs, a mulch of plenitude and uncanny sophistication. A very good drink. - Ned Goodwin MW
