Workmanlike Shiraz. Sleeves rolled up, shoulder to the wheel, rustic persona.
Choc brownie and purple flower aromas. Add to that some bitumen and boot polish. Rustic is the buzzword I keep going back to. Seeing second use French oak for 18 months, the fruit has a rough edge but there's something attractive about it. Savoury goodness comes in the form of cloves and dried herbs but the plummy fruit can't be stopped as it powers along. Drying to close, a great roast and steak wine.
