"Deep ruby with a hint of purple in the rim, the bouquet suggests forest floor and briars, especially a eucalyptus forest, including a little mint, while the palate is full bodied and fleshy, supple textured and savoury with ample powdery tannins and excellent balance. There's a lovely core of fruit sweetness. It may have a slightly firmer backbone that usual for this wine."

" Blue and black fruit, quite a lot of mint and menthol here, choc-liquorice, some spicy biscuit oak, some beefy almost Vegemite scroll savoury things. Medium-bodied, sweet uptake of black fruit, dried beef and choc-malt with some vanilla perfume, a slurry of Turkish coffee tannin, and a minty blackcurrant finish of good length, albeit kind of desiccated in the tannin department. The Vegemite thing, is, well, a thing here, though I don’t mind that flavour. 56% Shiraz, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon."
