The Wine
A blend of 70% shiraz, 14% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc.
The wine displays a piercing brick red colour with blackcurrants, raspberry and plum pudding with hints of violets, licorice, milk chocolate, mocha, cinnamon and tobacco leaf on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied yet finely balanced and feels like silk as it caresses the tongue and down the throat. Fruit definition is excellent with ripe tannins with vibrant, raspberry and blackcurrant fruit, intermingled with soft spice and tobacco leaf. The acidity is vibrant and the finish lingers for some time.
Decanting is recommended. This wine will cellar well and provide very enjoyable drinking over the next 10 years.
TASTING NOTES
Very deep crimson in colour. A complex bouquet of plums, blackberries, mulberries and cassis with savoury nuances of tar and roasted meats. The sweet, rich and plush palate has a fleshy texture with layers of flavour of great depth and concentration, beautifully balanced with velvety fine-grained tannins and excellent length.
