Fleshy with silky tannins and floral, spicy complexity, it is made for immediate enjoyment.' - The Australian, 02 May 2014

The palate gives up a generous hit of black cherry and liquorice. With great complexity, heavy tannins and a brilliant long length, this is a wine that will greatly reward a few years in the cellar.
