| Nose | The wine has an aroma of rich blackcurrant, subtle spice, tomato leaf and a touch of eucalypt. French oak maturation is also evident with subtle aromas of cedar and dark chocolate. |
| Palate | This is a wine of great intensity. It has distinctive blackcurrant and cassis fruit flavours. Subtle oak characters of cedar cigar box and spice are also evident. The tannins are fine and elegant – a hallmark of the varietal. The palate is well balanced, complex and fulfilling and lingers on the finish. |
| Oak Maturation | The wine was matured for up to 12 months in French oak barrels (10% new and remaining in 1 to 4 year old) followed by fining, minimal filtration and then bottling. |
| Cellaring Notes | Crafted for immediate enjoyment but will cellar over a medium term under ideal conditions. |
