Tasting
This is the most fruit forward of the Greenock Creek 2012's that I have tried, an aromatic nose of raspberry and spicy plum against a mineral and savoury backdrop.
The plate has layers of red fruits and carries its alcohol well with rich vanillin oak giving both suppleness and spice, the finish gives some truffle character to drying red fruits. A safe bet for time in the cellar.
