An expressive nose of clove, black pepper and blueberry fruit is layered with gravel, dried herbs and fine oak. The aromatics are vibrant and complex, showing both power and restraint. The palate is succulent and poised, with red and blue fruits at the core, framed by cool-climate spice and savoury detail. Pepper and dried herbs carry through, black olives linger, underpinned by a fine gravelly texture and long, elegant tannins. This is a polished and serious expression of Shiraz - elegant, focused, and true to its site. A wine of quiet power and finesse that will reward time in bottle but offers a lot of pleasure now.
