Extraordinarily complex and layered with:

• blackcurrant and cassis
• blackberry and dark plum
• cedar, tobacco and cigar box
• dark chocolate, spice and graphite

Aromatic depth with incredible precision and power.

Palate:
Full-bodied, rich and impeccably structured — a world-class Cabernet Shiraz blend.
Expect layers of:

• concentrated dark fruit
• blackcurrant, plum and blackberry
• chocolate, spice and savoury complexity

The wine delivers power with absolute control, combining Barossa richness with Coonawarra structure.
