Deep red in color, plenty of vibrancy and youth in appearance. The nose is bing cherry and black raspberry fruit, a touch of mocha and subtle spice.

On the palate age has mellowed this beauty nicely to an elegant, medium+ body with a fine, silky texture, great acidity, a miracle even for Stagecoach at 6 years of age. Bravo

Big masculine red. Needs hours, even overnight, to really open up. Even better the next day. 2006 vintage.

Clear purple but not opaque. Petrol, earth and tobacco on the nose. Elegant and smooth with layers of tobacco, boysenberry and led pencil with a long elegant earthy finish. Really elegant. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

Even at 2 hrs after cork pop and a lazy man's bottle decant, quite a bit of this wine still taste like a barrel sample. The nose is youthful blackberry, blueberry, pencil shavings. Entry is a ton of youthful and herbal blackberry cassis. Graphite. The middle has a hint of dark baking chocolate and spice. Toasted youthful berries. Finishes with a lot of toasty oak tannin. Probably one of those integrated wines I have had from Pott. Just delicious.
