Crimson with garnet hues. Bright, lifed aromas of red currant, rosehip and raspberry develop into concentrated baked plum pudding with notes of anise, nutmeg, mace and a hint of white pepper. The soft, luscious palate is complemented by complex flavours of spiced berry compote, raspberry and red licorice that fill the mouth. An elegant style with fine, velvety tannins and balanced acidity.
Everything in sync with this 76/18/6% grenache mataro shiraz. It's immediately appealing with its raspberry and blackberry flavours, warm earth and Chinese five-spice. Ripe and plush with beautiful grainy textural tannins and fresh acidity, all ensuring this will last some distance. Hard to resist now though.

Medium to deep red colour with a good tint of purple. The bouquet is blackberry jammy, rich and super-ripe, with a decadent sweet-fruit core that is lush and ripely delicious. The texture is soft, the tannins fine-grained. A sumptuous grenache, delicious now and it should age well, too. 05 JUN 2020

"...Wild-raspberry, blueberry and lightly spiced red-plum aromas abound here with an attractive, fresh floral edge. The palate has a very central focus of blueberry and fresh red-plum flavors. There’s a long stream of flavor here. Plenty of tannin, too. This is an each-way bet to drink or hold.”
