Savoury meaty aromas and a palate that’s all about the dark berry fruit flavours with more of the meatiness evident. The tannins frame the fruit beautifully.

There was plenty of discussion over this wine. It is very dense; super ripe black fruits edging towards the plummy, fruitcake spectrum. A big, full throttle powerful palate packed with fruit, oak and tannin. A take no prisoners style that…
