Med to dark red; aromatic and peppery nose; med/full bodied, savoury, spiced red and black berries, well balanced oak, refined and elegant. Very enjoyable.

You wouldn't pick it as Heathcote Shiraz - the nose is savoury and shows dusty dark berry and something that resembles tomato leaf. It is a nose that is somewhat atypical for the region, but one that i thoroughly enjoy.
The palate slowly unfurls to give structural blackberry and mulberry fruits with delicate oak derived spices. The tannins are savoury and mouth filling with layers of dark cocoa and a saturation of black fruits.
What i like most about this wine is the superb interplay between savoury layered dark fruits and quality oak. Review Link - www.winereviewer.com.au (drink from 2013-2021)

- Garnet color with medium forming legs and aromas of black pepper. It's lacking fruit with a light/medium body. Coarse texture with a medium finish - Peppery. Med tannins

Grape bubblegum nose. Closed. Tannic. Smoother, a little smoky petrol, and some plum fruit after a couple of hours. Sweet. Can tell new world. Too young - but nicely done. 88+
