The First Growth is only produced when the growing season is showing exceptional fruit quality and the vintage is deemed to have great ageing potential. It is a wine that proudly reflects the terroir of the region. James Halliday has awarded Parker Estate a 5-star rating.
Aromas of blackberries, cedar and tobacco leap from the glass. On the palate it is well-balanced with forest fruits, liquorice and dark chocolate supported by firm tannins. It is full-bodied an tightly structured.
