Annual Vintage Selection Gimblett Gravels, May 2018
Medium deep crimson. Fresh peppery aniseed, blackberry aromas. Inky textured wine with supple dark berry fruits, fine grainy tannins and underlying mocha oak complexity. Tannins build up at the finish but the sweet fruit follows through giving length of flavour. 94+ Points.
