The flagship release of what could be one of Australia's best value producers with the Spice Traders and Heartland ranges over delivering for the price. This has all the trappings of a reserve release, the concentration of fruit and the luxurious impact of quality French Oak. The nose has plum and blackberry fruit with vanillin spice. The palate is expansive, with texture and driving dark berries fruit; spice and bitter dark chocolate provide attractive embellishments. The finish is long and melds drying dark berry fruits and dried spice. A long term proposition.
