Review
"If the Cowham Vineyard wine was a big personality, this is the moody one. It’s bold, yes, but also dark and compact in a very Eden Valley way – there’s that sense of mystery that the old Eden Valley vineyards offer. Dark fruit, bacon fat and this milk chocolate character that I thought was just oak, but ultimately decided is a vineyard character. Iodine, chocolate cherry, interesting nuances. It’s not necessarily an easy wine (it’s a bit dark and tight), but shitloads of intrigue at every angle.
Best drinking: good now, even better in 2-3 years time."
