Striking, charming and engaging, this spectacular shiraz exhibits blackberry, mixed berry compote, cocoa, cedar and fragrant spice aromas on the nose, leading to a sumptuous palate that is filled with delicious fruit flavours backed by stylish oak infusion. The wine delivers power and grace at the same time, and is wonderfully framed by silky tannins. This is seductively expressive and hugely appealing.
