2004 vintage. This Spottswoode second label shows incredibly well after 13 years. Deep colour, turning slightly orange at the rim. Beautiful nose with blackberry coulis, mocha, dark chocolate and a mineral hint ( lead pencil). Surprisingly concentrated (young vines), profound with still lots of multi-layered black fruits, good balancing acidity and an impressive finish with retronasal aromas of blackberry coulis, licorice and coffee. Irrestible and incredible value.
