Yet another new label to appear on the Australian wine market. Medium body with crimson mauve colour. The nose is pronounced, with aroma of inky plum, stewed fruits and vanilla emerging. The palate is relatively short and slightly dilute in flavour, but none the less displays, flavours of plum, ink, stewed fruits and vanilla, followed by inky medicinal back palate. Fine grained, dry tannins, followed by long inky plum, liquorice aftertaste. Cellar 2-3 years.
RATING: 85/100
