Colour: dark Burgundy Nose: cassis, mulberry, raspberry. Candied red fruit. Gooseberry, green capsicum, nightshade leaf. Green olives. Cigar box, sweet spice. Cedar wood. Palate: cassis, mulberry, raspberry. Gooseberry, nightshade leaf. Olives -- green and black? Cigar box, sweet spice. Medium to fresh berry like acidity, tannins drying and fine grained. Medium bodied, 13,5% alcohol. Very drinkable now, but will be beautiful and complex in 5-10 years.
Needs a bit of time to open up, could use with a decant first - but not bad for such a new release, will no doubt get better after a few years in the cellar.
Bargain at the current sale price (A$11.40/bottle), fairly decent quaffer

Decent, but not great. Sweet red fruits, hint of herb too, subtle tannins, fades on the finish.
