A splendid bouquet of red forest berries in the nose, followed by notes of eucalyptus and menthol with some black pepper and spices. Tannins are numerous and very vivid for 2011 vintage. Very mature balanced and elegant Tempranillo. — 7 years ago

I do like the label - great colour reproduction (sort of a high vis dark cyan) with a matt finish. Wine is great too - hits those big barossan notes of deep rich blackberry, black cherry, chocolate with ripe tannin, but not over-cooked, lengthy finish in a fresh fruited mid-weighted package. 24% whole bunch. — 4 years ago
