A deep plummy red in the glass, this Yarra stunner is packed with cassis, blackberry, dark chocolate and freshly-turned earth, all with that classic cigar box note dancing in behind. A tight, structured core of fine tannins and bright acidity promises years of graceful development, but there’s already plenty to love if you’re swirling this in your glass right now. Aromatically, it’s got tomato leaf, wild herbs and briar, all the classic varietal notes, and a plushness beginning to build across the mid-palate. Dense, detailed, and immaculately structured, it’s still in its youth but showing clear signs of greatness to come. Cellar it if you want , this will reward the patience, but drinking now will bring plenty of joy.
