2012 Cape Jaffa Epic Drop Shiraz

Superb colour saturation displaying an inky black core with a very deep dark purple black hue. Aromas of ripe blackberry, liquorice and dark plum are to the fore followed by some subtle vanillin oak, confectionary and blackpepper nuances. Still quite adolescent the palate boasts rich blackberry and liquorice flavours interlaced with black pepper followed by some meatiness and vanillin cedar with the pepperiness persisting right through to the finish. Excellent concentration richness and depth. Solid but velvet like tannins provide ample support. Long aftertaste of blackpepper, liquorice, blackberry and vanillin confectionary.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc 14.5%
