A densely hued wine breaking out the full complement of classic Shiraz descriptors.
Medium-bodied and fleshed out with blackberry, licorice, cinnamon, clove and black pepper taking it up to the vanilla oak. Savoury tannins complete this impressive youngster.
Fine and elegant but still in building mode and yet to fully meld. Give it time to do the big reveal – a wine with real presence.
