Wine Front 95+ points!
This year a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 5% Malbec, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot with the grapes being grown according to Bio-Dynamic principles. In order to get into the spirit of things I swirled the wine anti-clockwise while suspending a crystal over the top before tasting. Actually, I think there really is something in this Bio-Dynamic wines lark, and to paraphrase the great Reeves & Mortimer I dont know how it worksbut it does!. Aromas of violet, sweet cherry, berry, bayleaf, a little beef stock and most attractive lead pencil oak with hints of asprin that some young screw-capped wines show. On the palate full bodied but very reserved and controlled with cherry, berry, clove, bayleaf and cedar flavours. Masses of mouthcoating firm tannins and noticeable cheek puckering acidity lay the foundations for decades of development.
