Stewed plums, some mulberry, cassis & spice notes. Still fruit dominant, mid length finish with some warmth. Great with roast lamb. Perhaps a bit short. Big Australian cabernet

Colour: brick red
Nose: lightly spiced, vanilla, cedar & a musk/talcum powder note
Palate: light, balanced, nicely sweet christmas/raisin fruit; thickish texture probably due to sediment
A typical Australian aged VP with a very heavy crust
