Ferrous minerality and exotic spice define the aromatics, with cured meat, star anise and dark chocolate adding complexity. The palate shows remarkable finesse for such intensity. Silky texture carries concentrated blackberry and cassis through an extended, gripping finish. At just 12.5% alcohol, this delivers surprising power and precision. Those century-old vines from 1879 and 1892 produce a benchmark Hunter Valley expression built for the cellar.
