Description
"Superbly ripe and gloriously fragrant, the wine shows blackcurrant, plum jelly, mint chocolate, roasted nut and vanilla characters on the nose. The palate is equally impressive and powerful, displaying delectable fruit flavours and velvety mouthfeel, finishing persistent and gratifying. At its best: now to 2022" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2018
Deep, dark ruby. Fragrant aromas of upfront dark plum fruit, sit alongside classic varietal markers of green paper, eucalyptus and cedar wood. Fresh soft dark plum and blueberry fruit is supported by a focused, fresh line of travel through the palate. The dark fruit holds firm, deep and long before just a hint of spice and some subtle tannin grip shows late working around the edges, providing another layer and rounding out the wine. Drink to 2025.
A mild, December and January with cool nights saw ideal conditions prevail towards the end of the 2016 growing season. The result was a measured pace of ripening which ensured the balanced development of sugar and flavours in the fruit along with the retention of natural grape acid before some later season warmth allowed some real fruit presence to develop.
