Deep, dense red/purple colour. Vanilla and blackberry aromas, sweetly super-ripe and rich, classic Aussie red aromas and flavours. Big with a very firm tannic palate that builds ironstone and black pepper characters. A bit raw and aggressive as yet, with faintly bitter tannins to close. Needs time to settle down a bit. Certainly has intensity and extraction, essency super-ripe flavour and lots of guts.

Deep crimson-purple a medium- to full-bodied, very rich and complex wine, with scrumptious black fruits and spices in super-abundance supported by high quality oak and fine, ripe tannins. A long and distinguished life ahead. Major UK trophy successes.
