Tasting note
Powerfully rendered, with layers of dark fig, blackberry and boysenberry fruit allied to a strong, racy graphite spine. Ganache, licorice and plum sauce notes fill in through the finish. Shows plenty of heft but this drapes wonderfully. Best from 2015 through 2030. Score - 92. (James Molesworth, winespectator.com, Nov. 15, 2014)
This dry purplish red coloured wine features medium woody, empyreumatic, spicy and fruity scents and offers a broad texture as well as fleshy tannins.
