Colour

Deep red brick with purple hues

Nose

Aromas of lingering ripe red berries with  hint of spice and pepper

Palate

The palate unfolds in many layers of dark, rich fruit intertwined with attractive subtle oak showing generous cherry, ripe plum and dark chocolate. The wine is supported by luscious velvety fine tannins leading to a long and elegant finish.  This is a powerful wine restrained by its obvious class.  Cellar potential of 15+ years.

Reviews

95 points (5 Stars) – Sam Kim  This is opulent, dense and sumptuous. The gloriously expressed bouquet shows black/blueberry, dark chocolate, game and cedar characters. It is superbly concentrated and richly fruited on the palate, delivering waves of delicious flavours and velvety texture, firmly structured by fine, grainy tannins. A striking shiraz promising to evolve magnificently. At its best: 2019 to 2030.
