Blackberry, drying beef and mint leaf aromas. Big and intense on entry with black fruits, bitumen, anise and mint all exploding across the palate. That exuberance and intensity is well matched to prodigious tannins that work hard to taper and drive the flow long and dry the finish. Loads of wine here at a great price. Best served with rich protein”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The fruit here comes from a combination of vineyards in Mundulla and Padthaway. Opaque purple in colour, love the perfumes here, florals, violets, a hint of vanilla, blueberries, chocolate, coffee beans and black fruits. A sleek and slippery texture, this is supple with bright acidity, silky tannins, and very good length. Six to ten years. This drinks well over its price”. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWinePilot - Ken Gargett, 92 Points\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e“One should not forget other global locations.
