“Deep crimson in the glass with bright aromas of plush red plum, blackberry and summer berries with hints of baked herbs, cedar, tobacco pouch, olive tapenade, spice and pressed purple flowers. Velvety smooth and pure on the palate, fine grainy tannins providing ample support, sailing off long and true” - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion. 94 points

80/15/5% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/cabernet franc. Deep crimson in the glass with bright aromas of plush red plum, blackberry and summer berries with hints of baked herbs, cedar, tobacco pouch, olive tapenade, spice and pressed purple flowers. Velvety smooth and pure on the palate, fine grainy tannins providing ample support, sailing off long and true.

An honest, mid-weighted varietal expression. Currant, clove, tomato leaf and green-tinged tannins, evergreen and a little too edgy to be resolved. Yet quintessentially Tassie. Perhaps still a little too cool to ripen this variety. At least for now.
