| Bright and lively, there isn’t a moment unsuited to enjoying this exhilarating wine. The structure is there to age, but lurks in the background, giving just enough support so as not to dominate the character. I could drink this now, but I must resist temptation. |

| | You get structure, power and long aging potential wrap into one beautiful package. Fruit is sourced from a two-hectare vineyard that represent one of this estate’s most historic and celebrated crus. The intensity and vigor of the wine is impeccable and it finishes with well-managed tannins and long flavors of dark fruit, Morello cherry and spice. |
| | A firm backbone softens a little with air and unravels intense aromas of dark fruit, violets and earth. The palate gradually reveals flavours of bramble and boysenberry fruit mixed with hints of cherry, strawberry, spices and herbs. There is also a strong underlying mineral element to the fruit. Deep, layered flavours that need time to unwind. Powerful but serious and smartly-tailored smart. |
| | Succulent red cherry and floral notes give the 2012 a decidedly bright, lifted profile to play off the wine's pliant fruit. There is good density to the 2012, along with more than enough tannin and overall structure to suggest the wine will drink well for years to come. Slightly gamy undertones suggest the 2012 will always be a bit on the rustic side. |
