This is a wine that will comfort you from within, it begins with a basket of blackberries and blood plums, grounded by silty coffee grinds, black and long pepper spice. There is a sliver of rhubarb and some boysenberry swirled throughout. Oak plays a part to bolster the fruit and anchor is gravelly tannins. This hits the mark for a wine of substance, with nods of old spice nostalgia and a supple, smooth velvety mid palate. It finches with rosemary twig and would be ideal with some lamb ragu or slow cooked meat. Drink now or cellar for another 3-4 years further.
