It's almost like this could be alcoholic Ribena! The blackcurrant and black berry flavours are so rich and fresh they reign supreme. Throw in some forest fruits, cedary oak and a hint of spearmint and your senses will be tingling.
Flavours roll through the palate well but they don't seem to carry through to the back as much as hoped. A soft and warming length but the juicy fruit delivered is hard to knock back.
Will cellar for ten years easy.
Overall, a super Shiraz from the place where Cabernet is king.
