A perfect year in the vineyard.... warm, but not too hot.....adequate and well timed rainfall.....harvest date and yield spot on!! This wine has been my personal favourite since the first taste!

"The perfumed bouquet has temple spices and incense, rose petals and more. The palate is quite exceptional in its wondrous line of dark, blood-red, flavours, leather and undergrowth. Yet above all this there is the sour cherry/morello cherry and firm, but ripe, tannins, alcohol playing no role."
