Description
Colour
The colour is a medium depth, dark red with hints of purple and brick red hues.

Nose
The aroma is very complex, showing Asian spice, rhubarb and roasted nuts with fresh raspberry and blackberry and just a hint of oak.

Palate
The palate has a rounded mouth feel with ripe, juicy fruit typical of the vintage. The flavours on the palate are beginning to integrate and develop into a complex array showing the true strengths of this blend. Whilst the wine opens quite forward on the palate, it soon comes together thanks to fine, firm tannins and finishes clean and tight with good acidity.
