A brilliant combination of pristine, dark-fruited and deeply spiced shiraz with firm, fine-grained tannin that will live long into the future. Heavily scented with black pepper and spice, its dense, still rather closed bouquet of deep dark berry aromas reveals assertive meaty, charcuterie-like complexity. Silky-smooth, its supremely elegant palate of sour-edged blackberry, mulberry and dark plum flavours and subdued and tightly knit oak builds towards a long, licorice-like finish.

Great colour; elegant and long, with black pepper, spice and blackberry; literally sings on its lovely finish; 40% new oak, wild yeast, etc.
