Tasting Notes
Colour : Concentrated, bright crimson.

Nose :  Rich, spicy berry fruits with mocha lying beneath.
Subtle floral, and cedar oak nuances combine
with smoky barrel ferment characters to evolve
and complex in the glass.

Palate : Medium bodied in style, exhibiting flavours of
compote of dark berries, plums and prune, with a
lively spice lift. Classy cedary oak and vanilla
barrel notes align with rounded pronounced
tannins to create this crafted and complete Shiraz
style.

Medium red-purple; the bouquet is full of sweet, dark cherry fruit, the palate similarly full of delicious dark cherry flavours, fine, lingering tannins and perfectly integrated and balanced oak.
