Colour: Intense ruby with great depth and a gradation to a slightly lighter plum edge.
Nose: Forthcoming complexity of flamboyant mulberry and black berry fruit fragrances layered with delicate smokey and savoury aromas that are further underpinned with white pepper, cinnamon spice and discreet oak vanillins.
Palate: Smooth ripe rich black berry fruit on the entry with mouthfilling peppercorn spice and vanilla flavours well supported by firm ripe tannins and a rich lingering aftertaste.
Overall: A distinguished full-bodied Shiraz with concentrated berry fruit and spice flavours.
