A subtly complex 5-year-old that offers much, including a gentle elegance. Fresh, fragrant and very Australian in its scent of bay leaf, Aussie bush and mint with cassis, black cherry berries, vanilla and liquorice. Turns in a lively freshness to taste, nicely concentrated in blueberry, plum and black fruits generously smothered in spice with a lifted aromatic addition of bay leaf/mint/eucalyptus and well-rounded in vanillin oak. One of the signature wines from the producer and a consistent performer year in, year out.
