The 2016 is rich, deep red in colour. Blueberry, blackcurrant and violets with spice and hints of cedar dominate the nose.
Well-structured palate shows generous blackberry flavours with integrated tannins and oak, seamlessly leading into a long satisfying finish. It will unfold majestically into a beauty over the coming 2-3 years and continue to provide enjoyment next 10 years.

JAMES HALLIDAY
Open-fermented in small fermenters, each treated separately and matured in French oak (40% new) for an average of 18 months. The best barrels went to make this wine, its fragrant bouquet opening proceedings. The medium to full-bodied palate rides on typical cabernet tannins that lengthen the palate and its core of blackcurrant fruit.
