Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazMelodic high notes of cola and violets slide gracefully into a fresh cherry, mulberry and black plum riff. Step into the shadows to feel the peppery bass groove cascade over layers of luscious dark fruit that tango softly in a tight and silky embrace.

Gorgeously fruited and fragrant, the wine shows Black Doris plum, blueberry compote, violet, cedar and subtle spice notes on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate that's succulent and supple. It's pristine and flavoursome with elegant spicy nuances, finishing wonderfully long and silky. At its best: 2022 to 2034.

Fruit is sourced from the Malakoff Vineyard. Partial destemming and fermentation in open vats, 12 months' maturation in a mix of old and new barrels. Arrives in the glass almost impenetrable in dark purple/black hues. Restrained scent of violet aromatics, blueberry compote, blackberries and melted chocolate. Savoury spice, cardamom, cola and licorice. Carries the density and ripe tannins well. It's a big mouthful of flavour. - Jeni Port
