Tasting
This is one of the flagship wines from this Canberra producer whose reputation grows each year. The wine has pedigree but is in need of time to unfold and truly show it's best when compared at a point in time to it's little brother; the Long Road.
It has a nose of crushed red berries that is restrained and holding a few secrets back that will come to the fore in years to come. The medium bodied palate has peppery and spicy nuances throughout a sea of taut dark berry fruits. The highlight of the wine is the interplay between drying tannins and quality tight grained oak, both of which add complexity and depth.
This is a wine that undoubtedly needs time to show all it's subtlety and class.
