about RegionTASTING NOTES
—
Iain Riggs AM
A deep color with bright hues. Lifted cedar and leafy red fruit. The bright acidity carries ripe red fruit on the palate. Slightly green tannins at the end, but overall, very good.
—
Ronald Khoo
Vanilla pods, fresh baked goods, and milk chocolate, with a hint of ripe dark fruits – blueberries, dark cherries. A slightly hollow mid-palate, with an oaky sweet vanilla finish.
—
Dr Jamie Goode
Nice supple and sweet blackcurrant fruit, with the oak quite high in the mix. Overall, this shows good balance and a lot of appeal. Good concentration, and it is developing well.
—
João Pires MS
Black plums, earthy, with hints of mushrooms. Rich with savory notes – cedar, toasty, and licorice. Bright acidity, slightly herbaceous and stalky, with a fresh medium-to-long finish.
