Region: Upper Hunter Valley
Vineyard: Tawarri Vineyard
Tasting Note
This vineyard sits at the top of the Hunter Valley at 460m above sea level with fertile black earth and rich basalt soils.
Terrifically fresh aromatics of black cherry and bright raspberry sherbet, with the delicate perfume of violets. Powder soft barrel spices give extra aromatic dimensions, evolving subtle notes of forest-wood and garrigue.
The palate is that perfect paradox: finely detailed and multilayered, jube-like with beautiful fresh fruit sweetness, both generous and yet sublimely soft at the same time. Glossy black and red cherry work in harmony, giving lift and depth equally across the entire palate. Deluxe French oak has contributed warmer notes of vanilla-pod and polished cedar, plus elegant hints of fresh nutmeg.
A totally different style, brighter and finer than previous Vintages, but in such a complete and harmonious style.
This wine deserves decanting for at least an hour before serving, to reveal all elements of detail and richness.
