A magnificent wine from a tiny vintage – only 6.79 tonnes were harvested. As usual the wine has been aged in American and Memel oak.
Totally opaque black crimson colour, with deep crimson hue. The nose is a concentrate of Shiraz – intense aroma of liquorice, vanilla, spice, violets and blackcurrant. The palate is totally concentrated, with mouthfilling, explosive flavours – super ripe plums, prunes, dark chocolate and vanilla with very spicy back palate. Fine grained tannins, perfect balance, followed by exceptionally long aftertaste.
