Full purple-crimson; the bouquet has spice, blackberry and black cherry in the vanguard, the medium-bodied palate following with black fruit flavours, but adding licorice and tannins, the latter needing to soften a little; the oak is, as ever, well balanced and integrated.

Tim Kirk reports that 2013 was a return to the warm, sun-bathed seasons of the 2000s in Hilltops, with warm days and cool nights furnishing perfect ripeness. His is a refreshingly spice-driven Hilltop Shiraz, layered with violet perfume, pepper, dried herbs and black plum skins. Tannins are finely structured and drying, drawing out a long and exotic finish.
