Scores

97/100

The colour is little, if any, different to its Estate sibling, but the bouquet has more fragrant and varietally pure fruit. The palate unexpectedly reverses the plot, being more complex, more foresty and less fruity. There is presumably more whole bunch use, but the wine's intensity draws saliva from the mouth.
