I built this up little in my head. A savoury gentle giant. A pleasant nose but I expected more length. Air time has favoured slightly.

1 person found it helpfulJun 11th, 2014Restrained nose. Not much going on apart cranberries, sour cherries, light tobacco, dried rose petals. Palate is about purity and focus, pleasant savoury edge with food-friendly tannins. Medium finish with a hint of all spices.

Dec 17th, 2014Plenty going on aromatically with cherry, almond, amaro citrus; chalky tannin on a good length. All the more remarkable that you can pick it up sub $25

Nov 11th, 2014Closed up tight on day one. A little better on day two but still acidic and a touch astringent. On day three however it has opened up beautifully. Med weight with a rich rose petal nose, this wine was both delicate and powerful. Hold for 5 years and then try again.
