Rich and spicy , wonderful purity touch of white pepper. Really amazing. A must if you can find. Worth the look. In Australia on tour.

Ripe and tasty when you want something with swaggering blackberries.

Made in the modern style, substantially more elegant and refined compared to the blockbuster counterparts. Wonderful purity.

Strongly recommend a good decant 2hrs at least. Tightly wound around significant tannins. Would've liked to see it after some time open.
