Dark garnet colour with a crimson edge in a deep plummy hue. The first aroma from this wine gives a hint to the depth & complexity that lies beneath, hidden for now in the glass. Layers of graphite, brown spice & wild herbs sit across dark plummy fruit. Ripe dark cherries, dark rose petal & a hint of sous bois are all coiled very tightly in a compact bundle of aromatic intensity. The palate opens with intense fruit concentration over a powerful tannin core. There are layers of textural phenolics pushed up against fruit plushness which impress & excite. A fine line of acidity ensures this wine will have a long & exciting evolution in front of it. ...

Dark garnet with a crimson glow. The aroma opens with spicy dark cherry & a hint of fresh cinnamon over thyme & a wonderful waft of dark liquorice. There is a lift of graphite on the nose with depth coming from dark rose petal & a hint of violet. Excellent depth & complexity while showing opulent fruit density. Rich & generous dark cherry fruit entry opening to an expansive & plush texture with layers of spice & subtle earthy notes. The tannin is enveloped in a silk cushion of fruit fullness & reassuring weight.

Brassy, rose-gold with a faint green hue & a platinum fleck. Lots happening on the nose: river rock minerality, rose petals, Turkish delight, very slight wild herbs, & a hint of sourdough & brioche. There is a bouquet of red fruits entwined with ripe golden queen peaches & musk sticks. Its evocative & multi-dimensional. The intensity on the palate impresses: dry & savoury but full of textural depth. The interplay between acid & phenolics reminds you of that attribute in fine Nebbiolo, that leads to complex florals, particularly roses but some cherry blossom adding sedimentary depth. But you cannot escape the musk, with a hint of cinnamon apricot kernel. The finish is long & dry with a distinctive crunch on the exit. Its edgy yet resolved, exciting yet calm. ...
