What a steal!
Lovely nose, spice off the top leading to a nice long barnyard finish. Full bodied... delicious.
Highly recommend (had the 08),

Smooth and balanced with a hint of spice. One of my favorite wines at The Hive.

Incredibly full bodied, rich in black cherry, jewel tone, mineral, dark, tremendously fruity, almost sweet but Betty much raisin flavour, closer to Barbaresco or Barolo. If you're in a mood for rich, deep, Italian roots, you should go for this.
