About this product
Inviting and complex aromatics welcome you into this wine; brambly, leafy notes backed up by deep dark fruit with subtle spice and char interplay on the nose. There is a deceptive density to this wine's aroma that hints at what lies beyond. The wine shows plush generosity but there is a layering of flavours and complexity to this vintage that invites not just a second but third look. Generous, accessible primary fruit sits pretty up front but let the wine breathe and suddenly these dry, fine and lightly chewy tannins build on the back palate, lending a savoury edge to the dark fruit finish of this baby.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Youthfully charming and inviting, the bouquet shows Black Doris plum, blackcurrant, vanilla, almond and floral characters with a hint of mint chocolate. It is succulent and mouthfilling on the palate, displaying excellent weight and intensity, backed by plush texture and polished tannins. Generous and satisfying. At its best: now to 2027.

Deep, bright red colour with a purple tint. The bouquet is fresh and minty, with lots of berry fruit flavours on the palate, which is laced with dried herbs and again that typical trace of mint. Good balance, fruit and freshness.
