The wine has benefited from time in the bottle and is a good example of the quintessential Australian blend. The nose shows it’s varietal components with concentrated blackberry and plum that has an underlying savoury flare.

The full bodied palate is kept in line by framing yet integrated tannins, with plum fruits aided by a touch of liquorice and old leather. The wine finishes with mouth filling dark fruits and generous length.
