Description
Deep, dark garnet with a burgundy hue. A plethora of notes leap from the glass– ripe red-blue fruit, boysenberry and blueberry are intertwined with the savoury complexity of black pepper and graphite. The palate is seamless and perfect to a point; voluptuous fruit greets the palate and fills the mouth. However, the exceptionally fine, graphite tannins come racing through and give the wine rarely seen persistence. Without a doubt, one of our finest releases to date.
