Deep red-purple colour, bright and young. The bouquet is very fresh and bright and loaded with fresh dark berry aromas, a tickle of star anise and a hint of dried herb and mixed spice. A lovely spectrum of aroma and flavour, the firm tannin spine perfectly balanced and running the length of the palate. Very long. Outstanding wine, a classic in the making.

96 points Huon Hooke therealreview.com A bold array of ripe cherries here with some subtly earthy and woody notes that add interest early on. The palate is juicy, succulent and has medium body. Just the way it should be. Very drinkable now.
