Nose
Coonawarra terra Rossa motif... cocoa powder dust, blackboard chalk, white peppercorns. Cool fruits: punnets of mulberries and blueberries. From the butcher, fresh lamb with rosemary, cold black pudding with pepper, and allspice. Sweet notes of black forest clafoutis, cherry ripe chocolate. Enticing.
Palate
Structurally impressive. Mouthcoating chalky tannins balanced by cranberry succulence and barely ripe mulberries. Italian herb garden: sage, rosemary, thyme, oregano. Bruschetta with sun-warm freshly picked tomatoes and basil drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. Succulent moreish acidity and tension. A mouth-watering wine with a silky finish.
