The 08 RSW is truly an impressive wine, from the outset it's in penetrable red to black in the glass gives the impression of some serious winemaking.
The nose has all elements in balance with chocolaty plum fruit, ever so subtle spice box aromas and wonderful vanillin oak characters.
The palate shows concentration, complexity and elegance which sounds like an oxymoron but is easily achieved, there is ripe blackberry and blueberry, a warm blanket of fine mouth filling tannins with dark chocolate and integrated oak. The finish has focus and depth.
