Tasting Notes sourced from BRL Hardy.

This wine is the flagship of winemaking giant BRL Hardy and is vinified using the traditional techniques employed at the Tintara winery of open fermentation and basket pressing. Soft purple hues enhance an intense deep brick red colour. On the nose there are ripe fruit aromas of blackberries, mulberry, spearmint and cracked black pepper with spice, rosemary, nutmeg, cloves and musk in the background. The palate displays powerful ripe blackberry fruit flavours and subtle toasty vanillin oak with hints of liquorice and sage. Velvet smooth texture with fine grained tannin structure and very long aftertaste. Cellar 7-10 years. 14.5% Alcohol Volume.
