A medium-bodied and complex wine with luscious raspberry and dark berry fruits, alongside liquorice, white pepper and spicy cedar notes. The palate continues with a generous, sweet-fruit mid palate with mocha oak notes and talc-like tannins providing excellent structure with a lingering persistence of raspberry fruits

95 GOLD POINTS - 2023 Halliday Companion "Matured 19 months in French oak (58% new). Generosity is this wine's middle name, from the ripe, persistent tannins and the black-hearted fruit and spice to the well-laid coffee-mocha oak. Fragrant and complex in dark spice, licorice, nutmeg, blackberry, loamy earth and toasty oak, it goes on to form a solid tannin base on the palate with an impressive intensity. If you can, give it more time in the bottle." Jeni Port 03 August 2023
