Tasting Notes
Colour : Deep ruby, brick red
Nose : Fragrant and stylish Shiraz characters, augmented
by vibrant dark berry fruit tones from the
Cabernet component.
Palate : Intense, ripe raspberry-like, spicy Shiraz fruit
characters combine beautifully with the fleshy
black currant flavours of Cabernet. Defined, yet
rounded tannins integrate the spicy, ripe fruit with
forest floor earthiness and chocolate in this well-balanced
wine.

Medium to full red-purple; the bouquet is intense, with dark
blackcurrant and plum fruit supported by subtle oak. The remarkably
sweet mid-palate is followed by quite marked, though not harsh, tannins
on the finish; subtle oak. Could well evolve further and merit higher
points.

Lithe and elegant, a refined style of Shiraz that weaves tobacco and
cedar notes smoothly through the mature blackberry, tar and pepper
flavors, which linger impressively. 342 cases
imported.
