Tasting
A well made cool climate shiraz that will need considerable time to lose it's primary fruit characters and gain secondary complexity.
The nose is clean and bright with raspberry strap, some fuller plum and background licorice notes.
The palate is a little confected and one dimensional at this time in it's development, white pepper and licorice have a presence but are hidden, there is undoubtedly quality oak that gives a vanillin roundness, but needs more time to fully integrate.
