The aromatics and more obvious fruit characters in cooler climate Shiraz can be a little more elusive than from other places, and so it is here – though with some focus and patience in the tasting they do rise, here with a dark cherry, coffee and a light sniff of forest camphor, all in pleasing harmony. The palate has a lovely depth of sweet dark plum and black forest cake flavours, the overall feel evenly tempered, assured, and in popular parlance, elegant.
