Tasting Notes

From a block of 80yo vines on the estate Koomilya Vineyard. Hand-picked, 10 days on skins, pressed to tank, thence to used puncheons for 14 months. Deeply coloured, this immediately sets the rules of the game as it looks back 50 years ensuring it is the fruit that speaks, not the winemaker, St Henri, not Grange. Black fruits, sombre notes of earth and persistent, but ripe, tannins fill the mouth. The future of this wine stretches out of the horizon of the mind. - 97pts, James Halliday
