An instant deliciously brooding aroma from the first sniff upon opening the bottle. A dark deep crimson colour, purple and black. It swirls and almost sticks to the glass. Aromas of dark fruits (blackberry and plum), liquorice, tobacco, mocha and earth notes. This is a deep and complex wine. Heaven in the mouth. The palette is gorgeous. Of course its mouth feel is smooth and velvety, it caresses the palette but at the same time has huge presence and length. It makes its presence known from the word go. Dark chocolate, spice, olives and blackberries on the palette. This is a big, full bodied, super ripe and powerful wine. I was disappointed when I tried the Descendant of Squid Ink, however the Giant Squid Ink is marvellous.

Massive fruit bomb with great cellarability- if drinking before 2020 make sure you decant it and leave for 12 hours before drinking it. This will reward you enormously.

This wine is simply outstanding. In one word. Seamless. Beautiful rich, ripe berry nose with toasty vanilla and some spicy earthiness. The palate is full and rich, perfectly rounded with great acid backbone, firm pleasant tannins backed with outstanding length and complexity. Love the savoury characters. So much happening! Enjoy and if you can CELLAR IT!

tried the 2010 at the cellar door and it was amazing won 2 international trophies in Vienna
