Dark chocolate coats ripe blueberry, vanilla hovers above, as does a sense of smoke and darkest berry – and then the chocolate appears again alongside nutmeg. The palate then dives into generous, ripe, juicy fruit before bold, tight, muscular, flexed, fine tannins take a hold and assert themselves relentlessly. There is so much personality here. Leave for a decade at least and drink until 2060.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e – Gismondi on Wine (Sep 2021)\u003cbr\u003e“The latest iteration cements the belief that winemaker Peter Gago has firmly grasped the baton. Fragrant, spicy, savoury blueberry and plummy fruit that lingers forever. Fine-grained tannin under smoked meat, blackberry, and chocolate.

Dark chocolate wrapped in satiny texture; creamy mouthfeel and fine, rusty tannins.
