”Matured in French oak for 18 months (55% new). Chocolate-coated raspberries, licorice, vanilla pod and finely crushed granite. This is fine and yet plump – a lovely wine which shows the strength of the beautiful (and I mean totally picturesque and magical) Blackwood Valley wine region. There is admirable balance here between spice, fruit, oak and acid; all components weaving in and out of each other, never once colliding.”
