Tasting Notes
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "The wine has everything in place, and nothing out of place. A wine of symmetry and harmony, and of refinement and sophistication. It is striking and restrained at the same time, and delivers youthful charm of classic young Bordeaux, offering concentration, purity and complexity all in this gracious package that is Coleraine 2015. Engaging aromas of cassis, dark plum, violet, cigar and roasted almond lead to a palate that is perfectly proportioned and detailed with focus and structure, wonderfully enhanced by delectable fruit flavours and elegant oak infusion. Seamless and persistent with a promise to develop magnificently."
Bob Campbell MW writes "A blend of cabernet sauvignon (54%), merlot (36%) and cabernet franc (10%) from estate-owned vineyards. Rich, concentrated and velvety red with blackcurrant, cassis, cedar, black olive, anise, liquorice and nutty oak flavours. An impressively layered wine with a lengthy finish. It can be appreciated now but has obvious potential."
Huon Hooke writes "Toasty oak still showing on the nose, some violets emerging. Full-bodied, deep and full in the mouth: a youthful, nascent, elegant wine. Tight and long on the palate, with lively acidity. It's still very youthful and will be long-lived."
