"A parcel selection treated to new French oak, this lives up to the wood with pure fruit and pitch-black Barossa tannins. Those tannins are mellow, with bitter rootvegetable savor, earthy against the blackcherry-skin and strawberry notes. There’s a meaty, spice-rub flavor in the tannins, a merging of the oak with fruit-skin phenolics and orange zest esters, all of which will emerge from the blackness with bottle age. - Joshua GREENE"
