A complete wine with a complex bouquet of baking spices and red berry fruits, including boysenberry and plum, followed by dark cherry and barrel spices. Still youthfully firm, with tension and poise, it relaxes quickly to release the flow of red berry flavours and spice. Dusty fine tannins with a clove and cacao texture, while acidity carries the core fruit flavours and layers of mineral and earthy notes. Balanced, well made, still developing, yet drinking well now and through to 2030.
