As with its Shiraz sibling, it sees 18 months in French oak. Swirl the glass and leafy aromas skip out along with capsicum, tomato paste and dried herbs. The fruit profile is driven by blackberry pastilles and blackcurrants with olive tapenade and a chocolate torte undertow. A wine with some muscle, it's more robust than the 2023 but softens with time in the glass. A fine sheet of spice rides a lengthy and most respectable finish. All up, it's a lovely drink.
