Colour: Deep intense red with a purple hue. Aroma: Notes of blueberry, plum, mulberry, French lavender, pen ink, white pepper, peppered steak, and scorched earth. Palate: Displaying some lovely fruit restraint, this Shiraz provides gentle notes of blueberry, mulberry, plum, and blueberry pastille, which slowly emerge with air contact. Hints of white pepper, warm granite, and French lavender add layers of complexity and intrigue. Big chewy tannins emerge through the mid-palate, creating a very muscular structure that runs the length of the palate suggesting a very long future ahead. Notes of black tea, saddle oil, and peppered steak penetrate the late-palate.
