vintage
2013
colour
Vibrant purple/red
nose
Violets and anise srrounding dark berry fruit and white pepper spice withtoasty mocha oak.
palate
Rich and generous black fruits envelop mouthfulling and tighly wound structural tannin with cedary, spicy oak characters. Balanced yet powerful, the fruit weight and structure flow right through the palate for a long and complex finish
winemaker comment
Sourced from the Carr Vineyard in Coldstream (91%) and Old Beenack Road in the Upper Yarra (9%). A wonderful vintage where the fruit was able to ripen to maturity in cool conditions. Low yielding from 12-28 year old vines, only the best batches and selected barrels make it into the reserve program. We identify parcels that express regional personality and display purity, concentration and minerality.
