You know that there’s one thing you’re going to get with the Cimicky wines, and that’s flavour—flavour in spades. The colour here is deep, dark, blacky plum. The nose shows loads of spice and plummy chocolate. Then the palate is rich and generous, with loads of complex fruit intensity. It has had about two years in oak, where it has picked up some slightly toasty notes and that sweet vanillin complexity which suits this variety in specific vineyards through the Barossa. Above all, it delivers with a smooth, effortless, velvety palate that is most stylish.
