This wine has an immensely concentrated, inky, claret colour. It demonstrates vanilla and spice notes from quality oak. This is complemented with elements of aniseed and rich dark fruits including blackberry and cherry. The palate is brooding with latent power, which is balanced by the vibrant fruit and fine grained tannins in the mouth. The length of flavour and power in this wine, whilst still showing finesse and restraint, is what sets it at the zenith of red winemaking at Jim Barry Wines.

Ok score doesn't mean much since won't look at this again for another 15+ years or a very long decant. But still delicious.

Worth waiting for. Smooth, full flavored, elegant. Berries and mild tannins. Decanted for about 60 minutes. Better yet with more time in glass. A special Valentines Day treat.
