Loads of sweet, dark fruit evident immediately with suggestions on the nose of dark plum and earthy notes, a little blackberry and licorice all swirling through a complex combination. Palate is rich and loaded with sweet fruit and delivered with real style and poise. Tannins are remarkably soft and supple, and the oak is well managed and integrated, creating a satiny, polished finish that presents Barossa Cabernet in a slightly different way. Lovely wine, drinking in the shorter term.
