Item No. 112065

red wine style:

winemaker's notes:

The color is a deep brooding red/ black leading to a bouquet of dark chocolate and blood plums. The palate is rich and soft in keeping with the Eight Songs style and the finish features plush, fine grained tannins. The wine drinks beautifully now but can be cellared with confidence for a few more years if desired. We recommend decantering for a few hours before serving to allow the wine to open up.

alcohol by volume: 14.5%

critical acclaim:

"Good retention of youthful colour; a velvety fusion of plum, blackberry and dark chocolate on the medium-bodied palate; has excellent mouthfeel and balance, the finish long and satisfying."

94 Points

Australian Wine Companion

"Broad and generous, delivering a plush mouthful of plum, blueberry and spice flavors, this holds back on the finish just enough to achieve refinement. This has depth and striking balance. Drink now through 2018. 200 cases imported."

This is a delicious wine - a big mouthfeel full of ripe berries and chocolate. Very plush, but balanced and a good kick of spice. This is a big, ripe wine, but with enough structure to hold up to food. A great by-the-fire wine or with some slow-roasted meats.
