Deep, dark red colour, with a faint trace of purple as well as brick-red. The bouquet is earthy and savoury, walnutty, mellow, developed and also tinged with the smell of the cork. A trace of mint. It's big and gutsy, savoury and drying in the mouth, with ample soft tannins and a chalky texture, but the overall impression is of an oak-driven wine which de-emphasises fruit and regional identity. It also lacks freshness, and it's possible there's a smidgin of TCA here.

Still in the first flush of full-bodied youth, overflowing with black fruits, spice, tobacco, bramble, earth and licorice - just to start with, then there is the bedrock of ripe tannins and the doona of quality oak. Certainly from the full-bodied, big end of town, but you can't deny its quality, nor the skill of Craig Stansborough.
