The wines from this producer push well above their pricing weight. Restrained iodine, purple flower and blue fruit notes. The finish shows hints of iron, with some kelp and its maritime lift, so intrinsic to the toothsomeness of the better wines of the Vale. Very, very good.

Quality fruit from a top region and a great vintage. As they say in the classics, what is not to like. An opaque maroon colour here, the nose is redolent with coffee bean notes, chocolate, dried herbs, tobacco leaves and leather. There is some oak evident here, with cloves emerging. Beautifully concentrated with a fine line of acidity. A well balanced wine with silky tannins, there is excellent length. Enjoy this over the next ten years.

Another ridiculously priced wine given the stellar quality. An almost cool-climate aura to the nose of iodine, boysenberries, olives, graphite and lavender. The tannins are a little obtuse, but this is worth buying for the nose and its whiff of sophistication alone. Superlative value.
