Rating

2006: 87 Points - Josh Raynolds, Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellars: "Deep red. Pungent aromas of redcurrant, cherry, tobacco and vanilla, with an herbal overtone. Round and silky in texture, offering modestly concentrated red fruit flavors that pick up a smoky nuance with air. Finishes with gentle sweetness and soft tannins, leaving a smoky, meaty note behind. "

Wine maker notes

On the nose, hints of fruit enveloped in a series of oak fragances and balsamic aromas.

Red with a slight hint of yellow when still and glints of violet hues when swirled.

In the mouth, a series of smooth sensations moving towards the back of the palate, then returning along the sides of the rear of the tongue with toasted flavours and finishing underneath the tongue at the front with soft, persistent toasted sensations.
