TASTING NOTE

This Estate shiraz is the definition of power and subtlety. The wine delivers a fragrant nose with dark, toasty baking spices and fine and tight grip on the palate; you can feel the quality of the oak. It is tightly grained offering power and finesse. With lovely dark cherry, notes of baked pastry and generous packed flavour this is still a delicate and pure wine. It offers savoury liquorice, graphite and a faint waft of jasmine. As the wine opens up there is a defined and savoury black olive quality too. The wine is still an infant, with a lovely and complex future ahead of it.
