The deep – verging on opaque – colour rings a bell warning of the arrival of an exotic full-bodied shiraz, arguing the toss on varietal expression (unctuous blackberry and licorice) and sense of place (dark chocolate) with ripe, gently chewy tannins and a benison of oak.

Ink black core, just fading slightly to a deep ruby rim. The nose fills with mulberry, dark chocolate and vanilla aromatics. The palate is equally packed with similar flavours, richness and weight is balanced by firm tannins and a hint of freshening acidity. It walks the tightrope of weight and tension with precision 16 MAR 2022 Drink 2022–2035

Bright purple lively and alive; a youthful blush. Aromatics of white chocolate - just made from non deodorized cocoa butter. White pepper, nutmeg and bay leaf; then slides in gently the bouquet of cinnamon and mace. All of which is enveloped by primary fruit aromas of blueberry, raspberry and plum. A silky texture from front to mid palate, at which point the keen acidity takes over. This red now becomes a very structured and well-delineated wine that moves in gradual, seamless stages. There's diving bell like depth of fruit from the mid to back palate where grainy tannins debate politely with clear acidity.
