Region: Barossa Valley / Southern Highlands
Black, dark cherry red in Colour with a ripe plum/chocolate/blackberry nose. These aromas are quite heady and inviting. The palate is laden with spicy black pepper and blackberry fruit. Mid palate spicy dark chocolate mixes well with chewy rustic tannins delivering a fascinating yet still elegant wine. Enjoy now or over the next 5 years.
