An outstanding wine and only the second release from St. Hallett, the objective being to produce this wine only in the exceptional years. The wine has been awarded 3 gold, 4 silver, and 3 bronze medals to date. Opaque crimson black colour. Superb nose with distinct aroma of ripe blackcurrants, violets, cedar and a touch of liquorice - almost perfumed.Concentrated and mouthfilling palate flavours- ripe plum, blackcurrant, spice and liquorice. Fine grain tannins, perfect balance, followed by a very long spice, liquorice and earthy aftertaste. Cellar 4-5 years.
