89/100 45

Dense peppery wine with peppery Syrah-like characters. Impressively concentrated wine with an interesting mix of fruit (plum, raspberry, blackberry and cranberry) and slightly herbal (mint, currant leaf) flavours. Firm tannins suggest cellaring potential.

Tasted: May 2004   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $67 (~USD $51)
