Nose: Clean, with pronounced intensity aromas of black fruit of blackberry, cassis, dark plum and bilberry, dried fruit of prune, oak notes of toast, kernel notes of coffee and chocolate, mineral notes of earth, pungent spice of liquorice, sweet spice of clove, hints of maturity notes of savory. The wine is developing.
Palate: Dry with medium (+) acidity, the wine has medium (+) tannin of ripe and silky texture, high alcohol, full body and exhibiting pronounced intensity of flavours of black fruit of cassis, blackberry and dark cherries, dried fruit of prune, oak notes of toast, kernel notes of chocolate, pungent spice of liquorice, herbal notes of eucalyptus. The wine has a long finish.
Conclusion: Outstanding quality Australian Shiraz with a very strong nose showing great complexity, with plenty of ripe black fruit, French oak and a wide range of earthy, spicy and chocolate characters. The palate is powerful, with good acidity and tannin, and great concentration of flavours, finishing with an exceptional long finish. It is ready to drink now and can further develop for another 5-7 years.
