24 January 2010 This is a sophisticated red, fragrant, spicy and slightly leathery, with substantial body and deep, complex flavours of plums and black pepper. Built to last.

Neal Martin The 2007 Iconclad is where things start getting really interesting, a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot, this has a compelling, brooding nose with notes of blackberry, cedar, creme de cassis and a touch of burnt match. The palate is full-bodied, opulent with thick chewy tannins – an imposing wine, ferociously backward but with great harmony and an almost Pomerol-like finish. Drink over 4-6 years. |
