2006 - the first release. Made using open fermenters, natural yeast and basket pressed with French oak. A structured year, cool - moderate weather, dark fruits. Responds well to a good decant a few hours before drinking. Still has many years left though.
2008 - the second release (2007 was a bad frost year). 2008 was a mild year with a warm finish. This was the last fruit hand picked that year early in the morning. Lifted black currant, chocolate nose with a touch of Smokey tobacco, sage notes. Very smooth. Will age longer but yummy now.
2017 was a cool year. Beautiful fragrance, purity and elegance. Dried mint, chocolate, cocoa powder like refined tannins. Great vitality! Will drink well young with beautiful fruit purity, but will age like an old Aussie Claret with great natural acidity.
