Colour is crimson with vibrant purple hues. The perfumed nose shows notes of dark cherry, berry fruits with aromas of mocha and spice. Intense regional fruit characters combine with refined, suede-like tannins that extend across the palate. Suitably medium-bodied that's rich and ripe, plummy with dominant Shiraz characters, a seductive spiceyness and underlying notes of blackberries, an abundance of velvety sweet complexities, fine tannins and subdued wood characters This is a stylish wine which will reward careful cellaring with further bottle age complexity sure to develop over time. Ideal with red meats, duck or game.
