A fabulous, typical example from this single vineyard that from it’s pristine crimson colour and leading, full aroma, exhibits the characteristic flavours of dark berries, ripe red fruits and complex exotic spices that lead into a supple tannic palate beautifully balanced with abundant natural acid. Maybe a little more forward than the 2015 and 2016, it will still cellar for a long time if you wish. 15.5% alc/vol
The estate cops some flack because of the rising alcohols over the last decade, but screw that - this powerful wine is superbly balanced. Hats off, too, to dry-grown fruit and transparent, minimalist winemaking. Aromas of currant, anise, mint and each and every dark fruit reference teem from the glass. Yet what marks this wine is the well wrought tannins, ferrous, implacable gatekeepers of all that matters: whether one reaches for a second glass and third and... Long, lustrous and unforced.
