Plum notes....nice overall woody flavour. Creamyness short lived but lasting palate. Desirable pepperyness

85% Shiraz and 15% Mataro. Black cassis, fairly tarry & dry florals on the nose. Palate has the same black cassis, tar, warm spices, violets & dry florals, then come the blue fruits, black raspberries tannins are big and stick at this point. Finishes with simultaneously with ripe fruits and sticky dark tarry cassis tannins. Needs about 5-7 years.

Chewy dark fruit, smooth and ripe. Dark chocolate, dusty tannins. A little spice.

Composed Shiraz showing plenty of old world appeal. Feels quite simple but maintains solid length.

Potpourri and white florals in abundance, raspberry nerds, musk and Turkish delight. Tropical cordial, brandy custard, Poh's banana and rhubarb jam, boiled orange skins reminscent of making cordial and dried cherry.
