Vintage 2008
95 points The Real Review
Deep, rich red colour with some brick-red tinges and next to no purple remaining. The wine is big and ballsy, with a lot of character. A burst of mocha from raunchy oak handling, and some charred vegetables. The flavour and aroma are generous and ample, with good structure, line and length. There is still a touch of firmness in the tannins, which are well-balanced. A very complex wine. (90% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot and petit verdot)
