Tasting Note
An assault of many aromas and flavors that sweep together in one fluid motion, bound in the Koomilya signature of split red wood and mahogany. Palate: deep spice and cassis flavors that surprise and delight. Tannin: silky tannins play across the back palate.

"A slightly firmer and more fragrant style to the ultra-rich DC Block bottling of the same vintage. This has impressive depth and concentration. Aromas are in the spectrum of dark, red and purple berries. There is an astutely handled, spicy oak influence courtesy of the 2700-liter French oak vats. The palate carries on with a wealth of fine, long and sleek tannins, which deliver a fresh plum-stone finish. Try from 2023."

"It’s rosy, it’s ferrous, it’s unabashedly Australian and grounded in the tradition of many of the great red wines produced in this country from special sites. Dense and tannic, but not heavy, black olive and tar, raspberry coulis and black fruits, a gentle chewiness, bitter dark chocolate and a little bit of bush and mint perfume. Walnuts. Savoury things, but succulence and bucolic charm laid on thick. Long. It’s a dead set classic." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)
