Tasting note

Deep purple core with wide, fading rim. Lots of rich, ripe berry food on the nose backed by cacao, deep liquorice and vanilla. Flavours unfold on the palate along the lines the nose suggested. Marvellously complex and the more you taste the more jam and liquorice evolve. Dense and voluptuous with fine texture. Full fruited long finish. Very drinkable now with stews or roast yet has lots of potential to still develop. Score: Gold (Best in Class) (International Wine & Spirit Competition 2011)
