Shows cool-climate cherry fruit & tobacco aromas; savoury lean tannins overshadow red-berry fruit to minerally finish. Not concentrated or complex. (Platter 2009) Concentrated, full bodied with intense red cherry & blackcurrant flavours with hints of bunches of herbs & roasted coffee beans. The wine is big, bold and full-bodied with intense aromas of black cherries, and blackcurrants, tobacco and herbaceous undertones. Oak aromas are well integrated and add to the complexity of the wine with underlying cedar and cigar box notes. Dark blackberry and plum flavours dominate the palate, followed by hints of coffee and cacao, a firm yet well integrated tannin structure and lingering finish. We recommend decanting this wine and serving it between 16 and 18ºC.
