"Mulberry and plummy fruit characters, new leather and clove/cardamom spice. Synchronised flavours and scents make for harmony from the get-go here. Warm fruit characters to taste, a bit of breathiness, tobacco and clove through the chewy, lightly puckering finish. Some mint and brambly herb shot through the wine too. Just over medium-weight with lip-smacking satisfaction though the finish fizzles a little with warmth and tart acidity poking out a touch. Needs time, as most Wendouree does, but feels a bit raw in a way."

"Wonderful perfume, blueberry, raspberry, medium-bodied, with plenty of cranberry crunch, cool mineral feel, lovely carriage of flavour, fresh and long, a touch of gum leaf as it goes, and some graphite stuff. It does feel a bit unformed as at now, but the freshness and fragrance here is very appealing."
