“This is a first release from this pocket of Cobaw Ridge’s higher density plantings, as the name says. Sees 25% new oak. A strange mix of brooding, black fruited feel and this ethereal lift and purity. Has me in a spin, and delighted. Moreish red of dark cherry scents, sarsaparilla, terracotta, slightly coconut thing going on, curiously. Very, very satisfying wine here is the message. Lots of flavour, lots of pizzazz. Feels bolder in a way, but delivers so much character and a kind of eyes rolled back in head pleasure. What a treat. 95pts.”
