TASTING NOTE
“The most striking deep black-red-purple wine we have ever produced, absolutely deep set in the glass and a rim of deep red. As you lean forward you can already note the air has become perfumed, it is the most intense aroma that envelops the room – violets roar from the lip of the glass, and once the assault recedes with your senses taking a front row with all the berries flowing down -blackcurrant, blueberry, blackberry, sweet dense loganberry and balancing cranberry. Reluctantly you stop inhaling and then the first sip takes your breath away, a richness of flavour and wall of fine tannin that recedes into a oh so long length of brambles. A beast of a wine. Gorgeous in its delivery. Wonderful.
2023 RESERVE CABERNET FRANC
"This is dark and powerful, blue and black fruit, cocoa powder, some redcurrant crunch, five spice and perfume, something of a roast red capsicum thing here that leans into varietal correctness. It’s medium to full-bodied, plenty of thick sweet graphite tannin grip, something of an exotic curry spice element, fresh acidity, and a finish of quite some amplitude and length, lavish bitter dark chocolate tannin and black tea perfume to close. Feels cool in the mouth, but it’s such a delicious warm ride all the same. Fair play to Blue Poles – they’ve knocked it out of the park with this release." 96 points - WineFront GW Apr 2025
