"60/27/9/4% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/cabernet franc/petit verdot matured in 18% new oak. The poignancy of fruit, perfectly ripe, takes the lead. Second to that, the sheer mastery of blending will impress you. For here is a wine that has the drinker in mind, providing a full-flavour, medium- to full-bodied red wine with sumptuous tannins, a plethora of cherries, mulberry and acaí. Some chewy cocoa nib and mocha richness to finish. It leaves you uplifted but held. Value at every turn; a triumph. 93 Points"- Shanteh Wale, Halliday Wine Companion.
