Firm in texture and distinctive in flavor, packing mineral, earth and whole grain notes into the crannies among the dense blackberry and currant character. Comes together harmoniously as the finish sails on against fine tannins. Drink now through 2018. 50 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Victoria / Heathcote Select to Add

2 This luxury release from Heathcote has been a steady performer over the years, and the 2007 boasts the same plush, velvety texture that prior vintages have shown. Prune plum and cracked pepper mark the nose, followed by rich, ripe, chocolaty flavors. The only question will be, is it too fudge-like? Drink over the near term.——J.C.(11/1/2011)—— 91
