Even at first pour, there's a sublime perfume of fresh cherry, strawberry and plum woven with flower stalks, nutmeg and terra cotta. Aromas change over time, a savory spice taking the spotlight from the primary fruit. The palate is impressively structured with long length and depth, the satiny fruit held together by ultra-fine tannins. An ethereal beauty with the capacity to age until 2032, but that's utterly delicious now.\" – \u003cem\u003eChristina Pickard, Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe balanced acidity and energy in the wine reflect a perfect tension between soil composition, cooler temperatures during the growing season and the relatively high humidity of South Gippsland.

So, for me, the finest to date. What’s also pleasing is the clear delineation from the estate up to this, the flagship. It commands your attention yet it’s also welcoming and open knit. There’s a lot to unpack yet the package is complete; very spicy, with florals and sweet fruit, cedar, menthol, black cherries and kirsch. It ebbs and flows with aromas and flavours and filagree tannins (lots of them) with fine acidity all slinking across the fuller-bodied palate. There’s a suppleness that off-sets its latent power.
