Bright aromas of dark cherry, forest berries, subtle spice, and gentle earthiness lead into a supple, finely textured palate balanced by cool-climate acidity and soft, grainy tannins. Another delicious release with wonderful poise and structure, this offers plenty of appeal now however should develop further complexity over the coming years. "Now 100% estate grown! Tamar Valley. Dark cherry, baked plums, spice, a little mint, with dried herbs and earth. It’s flavoursome, but kind of stony with fine graphite tannin, a subtle beetroot earthiness, empty chocolate box, some orange zest and amaro, with a cocoa and dry grainy finish of good length. It’s a darker and more forceful vintage of this wine, but it does have a fair bit of X-factor. 92 Points Tasted: Mar25. 12% alc. $38 Screwcap. Drink: 2025 - 2030"- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
