Colour | At release, the wine is a dark red with an intense purple hue. |
Nose | The wine has distinct aromas of black cherries and ripe strawberries abound with secondary spice, sweet mocha and cigar box characters evident. |
Palate | At release, this wine is medium to full-bodied with lush red berry, plum and cherry fruit characters. The fruit flavours are balanced by undertones of creamy mocha, spice & subtle savoury characters. The palate has a soft, velvety texture with grainy tannins through the mid-palate and a long, persistence to finish. |
Oak Maturation | The wine was matured in a mixture of French & American oak barrels for a period of 6 months before being blended & bottled. |
Cellaring Notes | Crafted for immediate enjoyment but will cellar over a medium term under ideal conditions. |
