Power with elegance, modern and delicious ... Intense Shiraz fruit. You wonâ€™t be able to resist the generous dark chocolate, roasted coffee and mulberry fruit with lots of spicy flavours. Ripe fine grained tannins. Impressive length.

Perhaps best partnership achieved with suitable game / red meat dishes.
