Immediate presence of inky, supple fruit. There is density, substance and multi-layered black fruit with gentle acid; held tightly by firm, fine tannins. Lovely pure resonance. Drink continuously over the next 5 years.
"This is a convincing cool-region blend, with attractive cassis/blackcurrant flavours offset by fine, savoury tannins. A case of less is more. Rating 91 Drink to 2016 James Halliday AWC 2010"
