This is a potentially great Bâtard as everything necessary is here and this should age extremely well

crème de cassis and raspberries

the fruit this year was sourced 73% from Tasmania and 27% from Adelaide Hills

It is more a force of nature than a wine

richness and volume to the mouth coating broadshouldered flavors that exude a fine minerality on the explosive and massively long finish

What impresses me most about the 2009s is the elegance of their tannin

and while they never quite have the voluptuous richness of a Dow

A deeply pitched nose displays attractive

white pepper and touches of clove develop with aeration
