Tasting Notes: An exotic aroma with star anise and black tea, mushroom and bitter cocoa. The palate is polished with finely grained ripe tannins. More robust than both Black Rabbit and Bannockburn but manages to retain a seductive, silken texture.

Complex and enticing, a sense of place and pinosity, there’s detail in the fragrances from dark cherry to old strawberry, raspberry and baking spices. Some of the classic Otago landscape scents of dried herb and thyme frame some of the bouquet along with some smoky tones of barrel with clove and vanilla. An equally complex and textured wine touches the palate with a firmness from tannins and acidity, savoury qualities from site captured in the winemaking and core flavours that speak to variety and the Dicey SV style. Warm with plenty of texture and fruit concentration, a wine that will go the distance with best drinking from 2026 through 2036+.
