... a big, sweet kiss of roasted meats, creme de cassis, blackberries, pepper, and forest floor. Dense with superb purity, full-bodied power, and beautiful balance...
Supple, silky and round, with some transparency to the dark plum, blackberry and exotic spice flavors, lingering gently on the long, expressive finish. Tannins are present, but nicely integrated, and the finish keeps welling up...
Perfumed, multidimensional aromas of blackberry, cassis, woodsmoke, game and oak spice. Amazingly thick and sweet in the mouth, but ripe acidity and deep spiciness gives clarity to the flavors. A real powerhouse, with fruit of steel.
...this wine has matured from its brash youth into something almost subtle - a sort of Australian Côte Rôtie. Impressive!
