It's immediately appealing on the nose showing sweet berry, vanilla, smoked game, cedar and toasted spice aromas. The palate delivers excellent weight and roundness together with fleshy texture and silky tannins, finishing impressively long and expansive. Delectably appealing with seductive complexity. At its best: now to 2030. 5 stars

Despite the extended oak maturation and bottle,age, this arrived as a recent release. Perhaps it is intentionally held back. And rightly so. This is drinking very well. Attractive Rhône-inspired aromas: sandalwood, smoked game and a porcini/bracken/ bouillon note, earthy and shrouded in umami. Herbal tannins, gently ferrous, ply a straight path across the palate while mollifying shiraz’s sweet tendencies, billowing in the background. The finish, tangy. But in all, solid value and very good drinking.
