Hand picked and aged in older French oak, there is plenty of blackberries and peppery spice which played a big role in this wine. Plums also got in on the act.
There was a fair whack of wood although it was not over bearing. The mouthfeel suggested there were several years of aging potential in the wine too. And to that, I'd suggest its best drinking will be in two years time.
Grab one and hang on to it as time will be it's friend.
Available online or through a few outlets in Melbourne and Adelaide.
