A Shiraz for the collectors. Complexity and balance today, but reward for those who carefully cellar.
An intriguing nose of oak spice, blackberry jam, and fresh forest fruit. The powerful savoury drive contrasts the richness of the fruit with notes of toasted wood, tobacco leaf and liquorice. An incredibly complex bouquet to discover slowly as the wine breathes and opens up.
The palate is structured and robust, with savoury tannins carrying the wine from a strong attack to a lingering finish. The dark fruit is ripe, concentrated, and persistent. The oak is present, yet integrated, its spice complementing this wines richness beautifully.
This is a Shiraz for the collectors, delivering complexity and balance today, but it will reward those who carefully cellar it over the next decade and beyond.
