On the nose, candied ripe fruits of; black plum, blueberries, blackberries, dark currants, mint and fresh & dry dark florals. Palate is; meaty dark currant tannins, anise, mocha powder, dark chocolate, blackberries, black plum, dark cherries, black raspberries, mint, lightly understated baking spices, crushed rocks, leathery, fresh acidity, round, lush, huge tannins, big dark fruits & violets on the long beautiful finish. Photos of the driveway entrance and vines that in good vintages go into "Grange."

Aromas of deep berries and baking spices. Follows with moderately complex structure with a lingering finish. Very well balanced.

Still young but already an unbelievable wine. Rest of the case going down for a decade or more.

This wine is produced with grapes that did not make the Grange cut. Breathtaking. What a privilege.
