Its colour is a beautiful bright red, the nose is very aromatic with notes of red fruits, liquorice and spices.
The best wines this estate has produced in the modern era. (William Kelley)
A simply stunning wine, featuring exuberant aromas of warm black cherries and blackberry pie, framed by wonderfully ripe, very fine-grained tannins.
Medium-bodied, the palate reveals surprising energy, a finely grained texture, and finishes on a lingering mineral note.
