Tasting notes
(aged for 18 months in large new French oak hogsheads): Inky ruby. Heady aromas of dark fruit liqueur, cola, vanilla and smoky Indian spices. Stains the palate with sweet blackberry and cherry-vanilla flavors that pick up notes of licorice and cracked pepper as the wine opens up. Smooth and seamless in texture, with excellent finishing power, supple tannins and impressive length.

Deep ruby. Dark berries, cola and woodsmoke on the nose. Aeration brings up suave mocha and candied rose qualities that carry onto the palate and complement sweet blackberry and cherry-cola flavors. Ripe and seamless shiraz with very good finishing cling and intensity. This big boy will go well with a strongly seasoned, grilled steak.
