Ebenezer doesn’t disappoint with its signature boldness and generosity. This is one wine that can be assured to do well following time in the cellar. While the aroma highlights dark berries, plum, blueberries, chocolate, liquorice and vanillin notes, the palate takes it a little further into meaty, savoury territory with a layer of lightly smoked charcuterie. Bold and upfront, the palate works a nice balance with a richness of oak – the wine saw a total of 18 months in oak – spice and fruit all framed in tight tannins. A wine very much still coming together and asking for a little more time.
