COLOUR Great depth, medium dark crimson
NOSE Powerful and rich with some ruggedness on the nose. Strong Cabernet traits, black coffee, dark mint chocolate and earthy notes. As the wine breathes In the glass Barossa Shiraz shines through with aromas of plum, dark cherry and spice.
PALATE Vibrant and complex. Cabernet notes continue on the palate with dark mint chocolate, berries and rich black coffee. Thick and luxurious providing lovely dark cherry and spice with a smooth as cream finish.
