Tasting Notes
Vintage 2005 was another vintage of very low yields; the growing season was warm with fruit ripening late in a dry autumn. Sourced from Punters Corner 32 year old vines at the Cellar Door block, the wine spent 18 months in new and seasoned Bossuet French oak.
The nose shows complex plum, liquorice, blackberry, spice and pepper notes with sweet vanillin oak.
The palate is soft and round with fine tannins and plummy fruit finishing with white pepper and spice flavours.

Rich black fruits with plenty of depth and length; balanced oak and tannins.
