Retains good hue; a sumptuously rich and velvety wine which has waves of black fruits, chocolate and mocha supported by fine, ripe tannins and good oak — and nary a hint of pepper, black or otherwise.

A smooth, polished shiraz with a broad spectrum of varietal flavour. It's floral, slightly musky aromas of dark berries and plums is backed by cedar/vanilla oak and reveals undertones of bell pepper, white pepper, cinnamon and anise. It's long and fine-grained, with rich, confiture-like flavours of dark plums and berries, redcurrants and mulberries tightly knit with fine-grained tannins and sweet oak, finishing with underlying strength and minerality.(17.2/90, YTD 2010-2013+) Jeremy Oliver
