Immediately aromatic and spicy. Think bright black and white peppercorns, creamy black cherry and raspberry fruit, and liquorice strap with a potpourri lift and ironstone complexity - all gaining depth with aeration. The palate is bright fruited, fleshy and full - speaking of the cool site and season in a warm region. Black cherry and liquorice lead, again backed by pepper and spice, framed by the dense tannic structure from these old dry-grown vines. A very Burgundy-style Shiraz.
