G’day
Purple colour. Violets, blueberries, some firm oak, lavender, dark cherries, dried herbs and coffee grounds on the nose. The palate shows lots of juicy red berries, some blue berries, blackberries, in fact, lots of primary fruits – which is not what I was expecting in an 8 year-old wine. There’s reasonable tannic grip without dominating, and acid is in balance and supportive. Medium to full bodied and considerable length.
Cheers
