A remarkably long-lived vintage of an already long-lived wine, the 2013 is big, textural and voluptuous. The nose is intense and oak-driven: blackcurrant, caramelised rhubarb and tomato leaf lead under layers of warm tobacco and dark chocolate. A full-bodied, savoury palate shows surprisingly tight, chalky tannin (even after three years in oak and seven in the cellar) that promises great things for those with the patience to mature it further
Deep, dark, glowing ruby with a shaded rim. Balsam note and dried herbs with a little salinity and iodine—a structure awfully like a cru classé of about the same age—maybe a little older. This truly is, obviously, a hand-crafted labour of love. Bone-dry finish and some tannin still in evidence. What an impossible wine this would be to guess blind—not least because there is no wine like it, even in Tasmania.
