"Bright crimson hue; it is the first time shiraz has been included in its red seal collection. The bouquet is wondrously complex, with a collection of exotic spices establishing its quality before it is tasted, and when that occurs it simply validates the promise of the bouquet. While there is a lot of oak on the mid-palate in particular, it breaks free on the long finish. Screwcap. 13.8% alc." Drink till 2035.

"Deepish, bright red colour with a tint of purple. The bouquet is fresh and berry-like, plummy and very ripe, despite a trace of pepper, the palate medium to full-bodied and sweet-fruited, with hints of licorice and aniseed as well as iodine. There's a little jamminess, the tannins slightly clunky, adding some chew to the finish and aftertaste." Drink till 2031.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Ruby red.
Nose: Pepper & black cherries.
Palate: Rich, juicy and generous with black cherries & blueberries, smooth with integrated tannins, good length with a lingering liquorice & mint finish. Delightful.
