This draws you in with its inky hues and swirling boysenberry preserve. A hint of cola and graphite too, a wine that needs breathing time and some cellaring to fully enjoy the layers of flavours. The intensity might just have you breathing deeper, as it’s heaped with blueberries, carob and soft licorice perfume. The depth of tannins play well with the concentration and magnitude of fruit flavours, granular and double stacked structure to ensure this wine lives the full decade or double that. This is volume turned all the way up but with balance and persistence. A wine for collection and cellaring 8, 10, 15 years further and if you are drinking it now, go for chewy grass fed Hanger steak.
