The 2008 is deep red in colour with garnet tints. The nose is full of mulberry & liquorice notes. Merlot has given a velvet textured palate, with intense cassis & fine grained tannins from the Syrah, as well as a lingering, complex vanilla & spice finish from 18 months ageing in French oak. 50% Syrah/ Shiraz, 50% Merlot. Limited stock.
