Tasting Notes
Colour : Medium crimson, purple.
Nose : Tinned dark plum, blackberry, and raspberry
fruits with a suggestion of kirsch. Aromas of
charcuterie dissipate with aeration, and more
perfume and floral notes arise. Hints of white
chocolate and spice also gain prominence upon
sitting in the glass.
Palate : A tight and well-structured wine with redcurrant
fruits and spice immediately apparent.
Mouthwatering acidity induces an engaging
backbone conveying all before it to the back
palate. Abundant, firm, yet fine-grained tannins
complete the textural offering.

Black cherry and blackcurrant aromas; moves up a gear on the back palate and finish; mix of spicy, savoury notes.
-by James Halliday
Firm, with a distinct gamy edge to the cherry and mineral flavors, not
as big and broad as some Shiraz but extraordinarily well-focused to let
the flavors emerge harmoniously. Best from 2006 through 2015. 6,000
cases made.
