Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, well structured, ripe plum flavours with a lingering, slightly cedary, gently smoky finish. Has 14.5% alcohol and 5 g/L residual sugar. Much better than the recommended best buy 2009 (*+/**) released on June 23, 2012 at $14.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: Wow, this is a full-on red loaded with flavour and character! Aromas of fleshy blackberry, cassis and toasty oak. It's big, but balanced and cries out for a brontosaurus burger, or another hearty meat dish. Gorgeous dark colour belies the concentration of this powerhouse that finishes long and satisfying. Superb value. Pair with: grilled sausages, juicy steaks, hard cheese. Drink: 2014-2018. Score - 91 (Natalie MacLean, nataliemaclean.com, Dec. 27, 2013) |
