An excellent cellar-worthy prospect here. Gains in stature with time and air; unfurling, stretching and bulking up. If you approach now, please do so with a good decant. Plum and black fruit, a dusting of dark cocoa powder with sweet oak perfume. Shows good weight on entry, with violets and plums adding to the package. Touch of char in the middle, a chalky rub of tannin. Big and grunty, excellent length of flavour. Will be long lived. 93 Tasted on: Sunday 7th December, a Root to Flower day Source: Sample Price: $65 Alcohol: 14% Closure: Screwcap Website: http://www.darenberg.com.au/ Follow me: http://twitter.com/TheVinsomniac
