A magnificent blend of 50% Shiraz and 50% Cabernet that offers superb opulent drinking now. Totally opaque black dark red colour with very dark red verging on brick red hue. The nose displays excellent intensity with perfumed aromas of liquorice, cassis and dark chocolate overlaid by some leather, vanillin oak and spicy earth nuances. Rich expansive flavours descend upon the palate in opulent fashion flooding the mouth with liquorice and cassis followed by some chocolately vanillin oak, subtle leather and spice nuances on the back palate. Velvet smooth tannins meld beautifully into the concentrated fruit profile. Superb depth with very long liquorice, cassis, dark chocolate, leather and spicy vanillin oak aftertaste.
Outstanding drinking over the next 1-2 years (2013-2015).
