Deep, inky ruby with a vibrant purple core — concentrated yet luminous.

Aroma:
Explosive, complex and beautifully layered:

• blackberry and black cherry
• blueberry and dark plum
• violets and exotic spice
• cracked pepper, olive tapenade and savoury herbs
• hints of graphite, smoked meat and fine oak

An aromatic profile of incredible depth and precision.

Palate:
Seamless, structured and extraordinarily refined — a benchmark Syrah.
Expect layers of:

• pristine dark berry fruit
• plum, black cherry and spice
• pepper, herbs and savoury complexity

The wine shows power through finesse, with remarkable balance and control.
