Medium deep colour. Intense dark chocolate, black olive, blackberry aromas with graphite, smoky bacon notes. Richly concentrated, almost plush in texture with deep set dense blackberry, dark cherry fruit, plentiful chocolaty dry tannins, paneforte, cedar oak complexity. Finishes firm with long cedary notes. Still elemental and unformed. Needs more time to come around. Should be kept for at least four or five years.

Very deep, bright purple/red colour. Fresh and clean, less-oaky than Magill Estate this year. The palate is wonderfully fleshy, rich and supple, laden with ripe tannins, the texture is seductive and the palate is seamless and long and marvellously fine. Discreet notes of chocolate, mocha, coffee, spices and earth as well as red fruits, but it''s all so well harmonised: nothing stands out. Power and length.
