Many classic aromas with blackberry, and dark plum, toasty dark spices of oak, Doris plums, dark cherry, clove and vanilla. On the palate - weighty, fruity, dark spices and medium+ acidity, firm tannins and flavours that reflect the dark red berries and stone fruits the nose suggests. Keen to to enjoy a toasted cheese sandwich or medium-rare loin of lamb with some green veges. A balanced, well made example with a palate concentration and flavours that will please many who like medium+ weighted red wine. Drink now and through 2024.
