Colour
Dense plum red .
Nose
Red-curranted varietal primary fruits sitting alongside glacéed fruits…cherry, almond, musk.
Nuances of tanned leather, aniseed, cooked rhubarb coalesce yet still exude their own aromatic contribution.
Earthy, organic Shiraz - pan scrapings, game meat jus, marrow reduction.
Honest, true to style.
Palate
Even and balanced across palate.
Freshness, juiciness with softened supportive tannins … almost a mousse-like (lightened) texture.
Milk chocolate/cannoli custard flavours, chocolate milkshake sans malt. Berried fruits, assorted spices.
Palate altogether different to that earlier suggested on nose…positively, intriguingly.
