Closure: Cork
A very impressive red and typical of the high quality, concentrated wines produced from Kay Brothers. Opaque crimson black colour. The nose is very appealing with its judicious use of American Oak which enhances the ripe fruit aromas and flavours. Aroma of spice, vanilla, blackpepper and blackberry – very intense and a great sniff. The palate flavours are mouthfilling – liquorice, chocolate, plum and vanilla provide a concentrate of Shiraz flavour. The back palate is quite warm, with black pepper emerging. Fine grained tannins, perfect balance. Aftertaste of dark chocolate, liquorice and a hint of tar. Cellar 3 – 4 years. STOCKS ARE EXTREMELY LIMITED.
