Sample
A deep red in colour with some youthful purple hues towards the rim. Black cherry, plum, a touch of unsweetened cocoa and earth frame the nose. There is some background oak, but is not the star of the show, quality Barossa fruit is.
The palate is built around impressively concentrated yet nuanced fruit that ranges from dark cherry to richer plum; there is an embellishment of spice from oak and a lingering dark chocolate influence. There is a svelteness across the mid palate that shows the shear quality of fruit and deft use of oak, the finish is textured and long. A wonderful 2020 release.
