Winemaker Notes
Colour: Red enough
Nose: Bright and welcoming, but still an eye of fruit that is hard to un-wind. What can be seen though is a
bowl of red fruits, ink with a streak of fresh rhubarb. The oak leaves a scent of Arabic spice market, not too
strong though
Palate: As the first sip enters the palate it is with bright structured acid. The acid is soft and milk chocolate like, it has some shape and texture of its own. After the acid rests and prepares the tongue, a nice glow of fruits emerge, not too dis-similar to the aroma, but pomegranate and rhubarb prevail. The finish is of superfine talc like tannins, mostly from the fruit but a little wood tannin can be detected but will meld with time.
Critic Review - James Halliday:
Deep red-purple; definitely and definitively in the biggest is best school of thought and practice; from the single vineyard planted in 1893, and crammed with ripe black fruits, ripe tannins and oak, almost suffocating in its density.
