Tasting notes 
This wine from the excellent 2016 vintage  had aromatic  dark red fruit aromas with a hint of meatiness.  On the palate it is dry with balanced acidity and well structured tannins.  Excellent weight of ripe dark red fruits and a hint of cedar wood.  The wine has layers of complex ripe fruit flavours  with some vanilla tones.  A delicious wine, with great length and a long finish.  While this wine is drinking well it is capable of ageing for many years to come.   91 points Decanter Magazine
