Small batch open-fermented, hand-plunged matured for 14 months in small and large format French oak. Deep crimson; a wine bred in the purple; there is an operatic chorus of purple and black fruits with highlights of spice, gentle, yet persistent tannins and oak the final movement.
97 points James Halliday Wine Companion
The colour is very deep purple/red and the bouquet exudes five spice, licorice, pepper and some sooty, charcoal notes. It has superb concentration of flavour and ample fine-grained tannins. Full-bodied with a fleshy texture. Great intensity of dark fruit flavours on the palate, with a trace of graphite or pencil-lead, typical of the vineyard. This is one of the best young St Peters wines I've ever seen. (mostly whole-berry fermentation with a small percentage of whole bunch, 1200 cases made. Aged in a combination of large vats and barriques, of which 40% were new.)27 JUL 2015 Drink 2015–2050
