Full Description

A massive, blockbuster expression of Clare Valley intensity. It commands attention with an incredibly ink-like, deep garnet appearance and a highly aromatic nose.It opens with a lifted bouquet of baked Morello cherry and fresh cassis, interwoven with an intricate savoury web of leather, tar, toasted brown spices, and an intriguing touch of miso.On the palate, this powerful wine is immensely fleshy and bold, delivering an exceptionally concentrated core of blackberry marmalade, deep plum, and thick fruit paste.Its enormous fruit weight is heavily supported by a luxurious, sweet layer of vanilla cherry cola and rich dark chocolate liquorice.Despite its towering scale, it maintains superb focus and poise.The massive, dense tannins have mellowed into a velvety, caressing texture over decades in the cellar, framed by a lively streak of acid freshness and a distinct tannic grip.The finish is remarkably long, gritty, and warm, leaving lingering echoes of black fruit, earth, and a cool lift of mint. Part of the "5 Star Provenance Sale - Avid Wine Collector." sale on Grays.
