Lovely mix of fruit and spice. A nice mouthfeel and sculpted tannin structure. Full bodied enough to enjoy with New Zealand lamb!

Huge peppery nose A hint of grilled meat. Good grip and tannin. Well done. Will mellow nicely with some age.

Fresh aroma of dark berries, licorice and a hint of violet (without being perfumey). Tastes of the same with balanced tannins.
