Chosen from 3 blocks and composed of only 9 individual barrels. Deep inky wine. On first approach the nose is a hint reductive, but then opens up to strong white pepper and lovely cured meats. Full bodied and savoury palate with primary black cherry flavours. Accomplished wine, perfectly balanced, well integrated tannins with a long, long finish. Top wine expressive of vineyard and region.

Vintage: 2017
Rating: Outstanding
RRP: $85
Ratings Key:
Outstanding (Score range 95-100)
Often an internationally recognised, leading brand or winery – but not always! Produces a classic wine that is a faultless representation of the style/variety. Complexity on the nose and a seamless palate are an example of the hallmarks of an outstanding wine.
Highly Recommended (Score range 92-94)
A quality focused wine that has plenty of style. Length of palate and intensity are often key characteristics of highly recommended wines. These producers could be the ones to watch in the future.
Recommended (Score range 89-91)
An above average well-made, reflection of the style/variety, which often represents good value for money.
