Red with a slight purple hue around the rim of the glass, the nose is restrained Barossa from the outset with savoury plum and dark cherry fruit with a sheath of rich oak integrated into the mix.
The palate has great fruit weight and a complex array of fruits ranging from vibrant dark plum and cherry to more currant and prune fruit, an interesting textural mix.
There is spice and cinnamon on the back palate with an acid and tannin structure that will reward a decade in the cellar.
