COLOUR
Intense, attractive deep ruby purple.
NOSE
Rich plum, complex mocha – chocolate and spicy fruit with integrated light vanillin oak and a hint of anise, are all subtly combined.
The nose shows great depth and concentration of fruit and the benefit of extended maturation pre-release.
PALATE
Round, soft and full flavoured with lengthy fine grain tannins. Flavours of fruity spice, coffee, chocolate and blackberry carry through onto the lengthy and persistent palate.
This wine has seen extended maturation, with concentrated fruit and firm fine grain tannin it has been designed to drink well
on release but age gracefully. With careful cellaring the wine will become more complex and soften further it will
begin to show its best in 2-3 years reaching its full potential in about 5 -10 years.
