Very minty on the nose, spearmint and salty strawberries with pencil shavings and lots of dried flowers. A gorgeous aromatic profile that draws you in. Wow, instantly captivating, you can't help but smile as soon as you taste this. Succulent strawberries and crunchy cranberries join quite spiced liquorice edges giving a push-pull of flavour. Light on its feet but still deep and captivating. This is dangerously drinkable with such charm on offer. Bright and energetic yet layered and long. Bottled happiness! I love this wine and this is another great vintage by the Barry boys - Tom Barry and Ben Marx winemakers. A wine that lingers long in the memory. 3.4pH.
Complex, polished aromas of blueberries, blackberry bush, damson plums, violets, raspberry puree and sweet spices. The finely tuned, silken palate has refined tannins and precise acidity, showing ferric earth, citrus peel, boysenberries and dark chocolate. There has been a big change in style here over the last 10 years. Aged exclusively in large French-oak vessels, 50% new. Excellent balance and purity with great freshness and a long life ahead. Drink or hold.
Deep plum colour, aromatic spices of cardamom and cloves, alongside raspberry, savoury cherry bud, sandalwood, liquorice, cocoa, black tea, olive tapenade. Once again a slam dunk, so much depth and length. Sam Barry winemaker.
