95% shiraz, 2% viognier, 2% mataro, 1% marsanne, whole berries open-fermented with some stalks added back in, some batches with frozen viognier skins on the bottom, some with marsanne skins, matured for 12 months in French barriques (30% new). The most highly aromatic bouquet with perfumed fruits and spices dancing on the forest floor, the palate a liquid expression of the bouquet. Alive with juicy, gently savoury tannins beating a beautiful tattoo, the finish drawn out by the peacock's tail of the multifaceted aftertaste.
Opaque ruby. Smoke-accented black and blue fruit, espresso and candied violet are complemented by suggestions of cola, olive and exotic spices. Pliant, spice-laced blueberry, cassis and mocha flavors show impressive depth and building florality. The spice and floral notes drive a long, clinging finish framed by discreet, well-knit tannins.
