A lovely deep and dark crimsony red. Has an intense nose with rich, dark plum and delicious ripe blueberry fruit aromas. Along with the spicy dark red berry characters there’s some fragrant notes of violets & a hint of pomegranate molasses all adding complexity. This is a richly flavoured Shiraz with a great depth of those spicy, ripe, dark plum fruit flavours. Has a very good palate weight with those generous, mouth filling and quite concentrated red berry fruit flavours being well balanced by the lightly drying, slightly ‘chalky’ tannins. The sweet oak characters and those gently drying tannins contribute to its length of flavour and good finish. After it’s time in oak and then 2+ years in bottle, it is very well integrated while still retaining its vibrant fruit flavours.
