A seductive bouquet, showing fresh brambly fruit with a menthol lift. Big, very-fine, dusty tannins need time to integrate but the deep, pure, fruit has enough power to kick through. Liquorice, chocolate and black plum flavours finish with terrific length and persistence. A muscular-weight wine its tight and demands time.
Wine Press  At 14% alcohol, this wine is appropriately named. It is firmly structured and intensely fruited with berry/cherry fruit, pepper and cinnamon spice flavours, finishing with bitter, dark chocolate. The addition of viognier makes itself more than apparent in apricot/tropical overtones. It should come together given a few years. ..... read more

At 14% alcohol, this wine is appropriately named. It is firmly structured and intensely fruited with berry/cherry fruit, pepper and cinnamon spice flavours, finishing with bitter, dark chocolate. The addition of viognier makes itself more than apparent in apricot/tropical overtones. It should come together given a few years.
