Written Notes

Crimson red with a magenta hue in the glass.The nose shows intense, fragrant aromas of ripe black fruits, figs, apricot and wet stone with graphite notes.The palate opens with wet stone, ripe berries, coiled tannins and graphite.As the wine opens and relaxes it shows more black fruits and oak, laced with wet stone.A wine of enormous complexity and longevity.

A sumptuous Shiraz displaying a lively purple colour with black core. Opulent nose with abundant fruit reminiscent of juicy blackberries, black cherries, ripe plums, fine toasting aroma, hints of liquorice and beetroots in the background. On the palate rich and meaty, yet showing elegance, with excellent complexity, depth and length. Ripe tannins and fine acidity built up an exciting tension complemented by lots of fruit and mild spices lingering in the aftertaste. An impressing wine with great potential.
