Restrained, savoury, structure.
Made from Shiraz grown in McLaren Vale, Padthaway and Barossa and aged in (partially new) larger American oak barrels.
Aromas of charred spices and black fruits are layered with smoked meat, dark cocoa, tealeaf and at the core, a burst of tangier red fruits. It is restrained and has a brooding side, is still youthful and tightly wound but shows complexity and freshness, balance and structure. Decant if drinking now, or cellar for a few more years.
