Dave Brookes - Halliday Wine Companion

Bright ruby with lovely aromas of dark cherry conserve, wild strawberry and raspberry, hints of exotic spice, charcuterie, mushroom broth, pomegranate, amaro, dried citrus rind, blossom and nicely judged oak. There's a subtle gamey nuance on the palate that suffuses through the ripe fruit, adding another layer of complexity. Fine, silty tannins and a swoosh of sour cherry acidity at the back end. It's terrific.

Gary Walsh - The Wine Front

A barrel selection of 220 dozen. It’s hand-picked and made from clones D2V5, D2V6 and D5V12, which sounds like an array of cylinder configurations. It gets 38% new French oak, the balance is 1-2 year old. A mix of dark cherry and red fruits, plenty of baking spice, a light toasty note and some floral perfume. It’s medium-bodied, offers plenty of cherry and red fruit with a little savoury nuance, bright balanced acidity, a fine powdery grip to tannin that’s particularly present on a finish of fine length. Lovely wine. Shows a bit of oak as at now, though it’s not overt, as such, and could do with a couple more years in bottle, though it’s pretty good now too.
