- Chocolate & spice
- Medium bodied
"A bouquet and palate of ripe red berry fruit, dark cherry and Doris plums, there’s a fine savoury dried herb quality layering in complexity, and breadth on the palate. Dry, taut, fruity, varietal and new with vibrant textures from tannins and acidity. Core red fruit flavours are persistent and the acidity carries a touch of saline effect adding to the juicy and fleshy finish. Best drinking from late 2025 through 2030" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Sep 2024
Expressive and fragrant showing pretty florals, blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, thyme, spice and charry oak. The palate is sweet on entry with dark cherry, black Doris plum, blackberry, red currant, mushroom and dark chocolate. Medium bodied, concentrated, finely balanced and very complex. Velvety silky fine tannin that leads into a very long mineral and plum finish. Cellaring through 2032+
