Deep red/purple: good colour. Rich wine with density and texture. Fleshy, powerful, soft and almost sensual in its texture. Long finish, very satisfying. Lovely drink. Deep and persistent. Significantly fuller and richer than the '09 St George. Long-term.
Tasted: 26/12/2011
Drink: 2014 to 2035
94 Points James Halliday
A wine that came into existence when an experimental blend won the Jimmy Watson Trophy in the days when the wine did not have to be bottled; it is curious that these blends are not common in Coonawarra, for the result is a harmonious medium-bodied wine, fruit to the fore, with a long, balanced palate, the oak integrated. Drink to 2024.
