It displays a generous upfront blast of primary cool climate Shiraz characteristics.
Aromas and flavours of mulberry, plums, white pepper and mixed herbs reward the initial pour.
Intense palate-coating glycerol warmth, sharpish clean acid and leathery tannins continue to support the upfront abundance of flavours.
It's a powerful, medal-worthy young Shiraz ideally suited to winter-warming hearty protein dishes. It will also reward cellaring.
