Elegance balance and structure - this Spottswoode is epic. Latour-ish!

2001 vtg, black cherry and cassis aromas, great depth and richness, long finish, still could use 3-5 yrs

Goid wine but finish was ... awkward. Hard to describe.

Tastes really natural as expected or organic farming by Beth and gang. Medium framed with nice nuanced fruit, tannin and acid balance.

Medium body , light acidity, perfect balance. Pop & pour 10 minutes in your glass & it opens nicely.
