Tasting note

Solid, with good energy to the core of raspberry and blackberry coulis flavors that stretch out over licorice snap and warm fruitcake notes. The toasted finish has an accent of bramble for contrast. Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre, Grenache, Viognier and Cinsault. Drink now through 2017. Score - 88. (James Molesworth, winespectator.com, May 31, 2016)

Pure, ripe, purple and red fruits immediately leap out the glass in an array of complexity, amplified by hints of rose-petals and boiled sweets. Warm notes of milk chocolate and roasted coffee round off wonderful complexity and depth. The Syrah dominated palate is juicy and succulent with the Cabernet Sauvignon backbone providing an inky structure. A dash of Rhône varieties give a dried, provincial-herb edge to the exquisitely balanced finish
