Tasting notes
The colour of this wine is medium-red with a bright purple hue & the aroma is of dark, brambly blueberry, dried herbs, earth and undergrowth. Sarsaparilla and classic blue fruits on the palate deliver a velvety mouthfeel backed by very soft and fully ripe tannins.

Expert Reviews
James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au
Vintage 2015 - Grown from cuttings from selected vines of the 1835 plantings via the 'selection massale' process, looking for clonal diversity, but also ensuring all clones have desirable growth and yield patterns. Unsurprisingly, the wine bows to its father with its complex blend of dark purple fruits and savoury/spicy/earthy structure. Screwcap.14% alc
James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au
Vintage 2013 - No mistaking its appeal. Berried flavour, complexing notes of tobacco leaf and leather, a general savoury/earthy/spiciness and the sweetness of fruit to keep you tipping back for more. Integrated tannin. More or less unresolved on the finish but time will take care of that.
