This is a big bold fruit driven wine, it is deep in colour and rich on nose and palate. It opened a little disjointed but within an hour or so the wine was showing blackberry, fennel, dark chocolate aroma's and flavours in an enjoyable combination, there was also a pleasant hint of apricot blossom (from viognier?) on nose. Enjoyable wine but not for the long term.
The wine is still deep garnet purple in colour, it has very rich pure cassis nose, recognisably Coonawarra, the cassis follows through on the palate. Perhaps slightly one dimensional. Gentle ripe tannins, very good length and with some progression still ahead of it if you were so inclined. A delicious drink.

Deep purple in the glass, just begining to brown. Strong, rich nose game, liquorice, blackberry and plum. The palate is big and powerful with liquorice and dark fruits. Nice length softened tannins very good balance. A very enjoyable drink.
Colour mid gold, nose of lime, grapefruit and passionfruit palate shows passionfruit mealy characters sulpher and some butter hints will be long lived
Tasted: August 2008Bright garnet colour, a minty, eucalpyt nose. The palate is strong and full with plenty of life, rich plummy fruit, quite acid with drying tannins.
