Meaty black fruit sits on the edge of reduction with aromas of tapenade, purple flowers, damson plums, dried herbs and mulberries. The full-bodied palate has firmly framed tannins and a tactile mouthfeel that carries notes of cured meat, dark chocolate and dark cherries. Such a complete shiraz from a cool vintage in a maritime environment. Salty finish.
Very deep, dark, dense red-purple, young and bold. Mixed spices and dried herbs with sage to the fore, purple fruits too, violets and blueberry, which power through on the palate as well. Full bodied yet elegant, with fine, powdery tannins, the entirety lingering on for a long time on the finish and after-palate. Hints of graphite and broken ironstone. A splendid shiraz with great potential for improvement in the cellar.
