"Deep, dark, purple and youthful in the glass. Dark-fruited aromas: plum, mulberry, dark cherry, Asian spice, cola and vanilla. Flavours of liquored plum, Christmas pudding, vanilla, cherry cola and spice. It’s full and rich, plush, polished and very nicely balanced, tannins are evident and generous and shape the wine and provide structure and mouth-feel." Aaron Brasher, September 2021
