Totally opaque black dark red colour with a dark red hue. Pronounced liquorice and black cherry top notes intermix with dark chocolate, vanillin oak, light earth and spice. Rich liquorice, blackberry and black raspberry flavours flood the mouth over vanillin oak, subtlety scorched earth and spice. Fleshy textural feel with fine, slightly grainy tannins. Long spicy black raspberry, liquorice, blackberry, scorched earth and vanillin cedar aftertaste.

Other Reviews….
A 50/40/10% blend, matured in French oak (15% new) for 18 months. Deep, bright crimson-purple, exceptional for this blend. Without question the best GSM ex the Clare Valley, the three varieties welded together in a great display of red and black fruits on the medium to full-bodied palate, the supporting tannins of high quality and perfect balance. This will live for decades. Drink by 2039.
