Strap in, this is some ride. Solid purple hues. So fragrant, so lifted with an aromatic scent delivered on black cherries, red plums, rose petal, dried herbs and hints of green stems and herbals. Upfront in cherry-berry fruits and spice before it starts to go exploring a little further, wider and longer, giving way to leaf, twig, crushed herbs, earth and stems with a touch of amaro bitters. Lean, long and fine in tannin, it offers a highly coherent and complex showcase for the grape in its northern Tasmanian home at Pipers Brook.
