89+ Points Tanzer's IWC

Bright ruby-red. Big, rich nose combines black raspberry, spice cake, chocolate and violet. Very ripe, broad and violety, with spicy flavors of dark berries and mint. This too is a bit youthfully unyielding, but there's more depth and ripeness here than in the young 2002. Finishes with big, dusty tannins and slightly medicinal mint and spice notes. This may well merit a 90-point rating with a couple more years of aging. The fruit comes from a 20-year-old vineyard rich in decomposed granite in the Wellington area. The wine spent its first 18 months on its lees in used barrels, then another 9 months in barrel after the first racking.
