Description "Oh boy, I really did love this wine. Despite now being seven years old, its ruby colour illustrates that there’s still a lot of life left in it. This is well and truly confirmed by the aromatics, which show an equal mix between primary and tertiary characters: blackberry, violets, raspberry, dried red and black fruits, dark chocolate, cigar box, and some well-integrated oak. The palate is glorious: silky, concentrated and vivid, with the alcohol never overwhelming but sitting firmly in the background. I also loved how it was great either to sip it by itself or to consume it with food (in my case, a juicy steak and roast veggies). I predict that with a bit more cellaring, the wine will improve even more." (Brendan Black, WinePilot). Sam Kim, Wine Orbit is also a fan "Complex and engaging, the wine shows dark berry, thyme, cured meat and roasted nut aromas on the nose, leading to a medium-full-bodied palate that's succulent and plump. Splendidly framed by grainy tannins, making it firm and sturdy with a persistent, structured finish. 93pts."
