Wine Rating
 
91
The wine was sourced from the Rylstone vineyard that is perched at 660m above sea level and spent 14 months in new and old French and American Oak. An inky dark red with a nose of violets, dark cherry and blackberry; thrown clay and vanilla tones are in the background.

The wine has boldness of fruit but it’s met in equal measure by tannin and acid. In particular the tannins are formidable with a drying leatheriness that gets a caramel and cedar from new American Oak. Fruit is satisfyingly rich and dense and combines with blackberry and plum with a pleasant weave of floral violet notes.

The wine carries its alcohol incredibly well to finish and will be right in the zone for those who like them big.
