The nose shows depth and lifted berry fruits of raspberry, blueberry, blackcurrant along with blackcurrant leaf while notes of mocha and vanilla offer a touch of complexity.
The palate has big juicy dark forest fruits, blackcurrant with a touch of raspberry, fine round tannins, well balanced acidity with a long persistent finish.

Reviews
James Halliday Wine Companion | 94 / 100
A 33/33/25/9% blend of cabernet sauvignon, malbec, petit verdot and merlot, hand-picked and destemmed in individual batches to small open fermenters then basket pressed to French oak barrels (35% new) for the mlf and 20 months maturation. The colour is still bright, and the complex, full-bodied palate has abundant black fruits, tannins and oak all in measured support. Will be very long lived.
