Medium bodied, Balanced. Elegantly proportioned, yet with a firm underpinning. A familial trio of a dark-berried compote, boiled fruitcake mixture and fine chocolate powder,to the varietal tune of Shiraz. Binding tannins add to length, reinforcing the extract, character, body of the wine. 'Inky dark colour. Sweeter oak and sweeter fruit than the Coonawarra Shiraz. Toasty. Firm, chalky dry tannins. Mouth-watering finish and juicy aftertaste. Needs time. So concentrated on the nose you almost want to add a splash of water to release the life.
