Strong primary core with garnet rim. On the nose, it’s a very earthy Cabernet with olive leaf, cedar spice and layered with red stone fruit, Satsuma plums and blueberry. Soft elegant palate, very drinkable even in its youth, partly due to good balance of flavours between the fruit characters and savoury notes from the oak. This wine is a good medium term cellaring wine, 8-10 years
Dark purple-red, with a garnet edge. Fresh and fruit driven with blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. Some cherry notes on the nose. A combination of forest fruits with blackberries and mulberries. Savory aromatic spices of anise and nutmeg with some coffee and chocolate notes. Silky, delicate tannins; good acidity and well balanced. Ages beautifully with the berry notes becoming more prominent over time. It has decades to give, cellar up to 20+ years.
Inky bright crimson with a youthful centre and a dark edge. Smells like a blood plum orchard, with blackberries down the fence line. Star anise duck in the camp oven. Generous array of plum, blackberry and boysenberry. Satin tannin, malty oak, both tuned in with pert acid.
