Fresh flavours of ripe plums, dark cherry fruits and matching cedar spices are seamlessly integrated with fine tannins and balanced acidity leaving a persistent fresh finish.
''It’s smooth, soft, rich and well-structured all at once. Blackberries, svelte plums, creamy oak, iodine and a modest run of herbs/spices.'' 93 Points, Campbell Mattinson
The palate has a refined mouthfeel with spicy blackberry, mocha, chocolate and licorice flavours above an underlying minerality, a hallmark of Heathcote.
''Red berry and plum fruits with pastry-like nuances and gently spicy waves. Rich. Effortless appeal and flows smoothly along on ripe, detailed tannins. Great balance. Drink now to 2028, '' Nick Stock - JamesSuckling.com
This wine has white pepper and spice flavours, more intense in cooler years, with red fruits prevalent in warmer years. Subtle oak flavours complement the fruit. The wine ages gracefully and gives pleasure over many years.
