Consumed at winery in Yarra Valley. Appearance: Clear, medium ruby. Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity with developing aromas of black fruit - cassis and blackberry, eucalyptus, herbs, and capsicum. Palate: Dry, medium acid, medium+ tannin is starting to soften and integrate, medium+ body, medium+ intensity, 13.5% abv with developing flavors of black fruit, capsicum, and spice with a long finish. Nearing, but likely a few years from, peak. Can drink now with a short decant, better in 1-2 years and a decade beyond.

Peppery smooth very well balanced. Could have aged for a lot longer but drinking very well now.
