Appearance

Lightly clouded crimson.

Nose

A rich nose of black cherries (some sour) and plums, cedar furniture, cola and pepper with appropriate suggestions of decaying leaf matter.

Palate

Excellent integrated acidity lets the flavours flow like a velvet ribbon in the wind. The palate adds rhubarb, and beetroot to the nose along with just a touch of chocolate. Initial sweetness is balanced by pleasing and complex savoury/sour characters and the finish lingers for a long time.

Closure

Screwcap

Cellaring

3-8 years

Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
 says:

Spicy, stalky, darkly cherried and robust through the finish. Good structure and oomph, though true to its variety too. Smoky, musky, woody overtones. Cleansing acidity and well balanced overall.
