Sample
An inky deep red in the glass with characteristic Margaret River aromatics of mulberry, blackberry supported by cigar box spice and dark chocolate.
At $35 this is well and truly hitting above it's weight, the palate has depth and is framed by a tannin and acid structure that is generous, textural and savoury all in the same breath. Dark fruits have ample concentration and integrate seamlessly with the richer, cedar and spice notes that come from time in French oak. The length is very good with mocha and bramble to driving blackberry fruit.
