"This is impressively fruited and fragrant on the nose showing Black Doris plum, blueberry compote, game and toasted nut characters with subtle black pepper notes. The palate is concentrated and succulent, delivering excellent fruit purity and generosity together with focus and structure, leading to a superbly long silky finish."
