A complex and very spicy nose with roasted meat and an array of red and dark berries. The palate has such silky tannins that flow like ribbons with a ripe red-fruit core of flavor. Elegant feel to the finish. Drink or hold.

Despite the relatively cool climes of the Eden Valley and the lift of red fruit they provide, this is a big, rich wine with quite a lot of oak influence. Strawberry and cherry fruit is ensconced in mint chocolatey barrel characters. The palate is equally oak-driven, particularly on the finish. But there's a silkiness and freshness to the fruit, and tannins are textural and well-structured. This is destined for the cellar and should age nicely. Drink 2022–2040. Christina Pickard
