68% shiraz, 32% malbec. Fermented and matured in French oak for 16 months, the malbec lees-stirred (batonnage). Lees stirring can be a tannin tamer, hence, the softness in this wine which is a feature. It helps emphasise the fruit, in all of its blackberry, black cherry, spicy plumminess. Smooth across the palate, fine in tannin and bursting with intensity, it's so good now. Ageing ability will be interesting to see.
