"Fantastic bouquet loaded (pun intended) with chocolate, aromas of darks berry fruits and baking spices, baked nut, apple and blackberry pie crust, fresh blackberries and roasted plums. Youthful and complex. On the palate - an equally delicious wine with a firmness from tannins and acidity, plenty of dark fruit flavours at the core then chocolate and clove, vanilla pod and five spice. A touch of fresh tobacco and sweet clay earth layers in complexity and breadth. Open and pour a glass today with best drinking from 2026 through 2036" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Feb 2023

"Deep, purple with depth, slightly lighter on edge. The nose is voluminous and elegantly presented, with cassis, plum and raspberry aromas interweaved with tobacco, menthol, clove and nutmeg. Medium-full bodied, cassis, plum and raspberry have a bright core, entwined with tobacco, menthol, clove and nutmeg. Velvety, fine-grained tannin framework and lively acidity provide a backbone. This youthful Waiheke red blend shows good structure and vibrant red fruit with oak complexity, which will benefit from cellaring" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Jan 2023

"A blend of merlot, malbec and cabernet franc with Damson plum, raspberry, green apple, cacao powder, blackberry and subtle spicy oak supported by assertive acidity that needs a little bottle age to let the wine reach full potential" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Apr 2023

An amalgamation of stunning fruit, stylish oak & layers of integral texture. Ripe blackberries, blackcurrants & cigar meld with juicy black doris plum. A superbly weighted palate framed by chocolatey tannins & great length. A velvet revolver designed for superior concealment.
