89/100 45

Ripe wine with black cherry, mineral and spicy oak flavours. It shows impressive purity and length with sweet fruit around a taut core of acidity and fine tannins. Deliciously accessible now but should cellar well, at least in the medium term.

Tasted: Jul 2010   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $40 (~USD $34)
