Solid, sturdy and strong in classic Vale Shiraz character. Deep, inky, purple-black hues. It comes highly woodsy spiced and black fruited with aromas of earth, spearmint and choc-coconut. There’s a marked oak influence in keeping with the overall dense and sturdy nature of the wine. It’s tightly formed in flavour and while there is a generosity there is also the promise of so much more yet to come. The boldness of tannin and layers of earth, dark fruits and chocolate emerging is testament to a life that is just starting out. A Shiraz for later if you have the patience, much later.
