88/100 45

Intense, barrel-fermented wine that was matured for 11 months in 500 litter barriques. The wine shows a roughly equal influence from tangy fruit and nutty oak and yeast lees. Attractive, complex wine in an individual and highly drinkable style.

Tasted: Nov 2010   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $37 (~USD $28)
