Deep red colour with a purple rim, and a peppermint-dominated, floral, cassis and pepper spice bouquet, quite unusual for shiraz. The mint and cassis aromas remind more of cabernet or merlot than shiraz. Good concentration and density, fleshiness and grip, but also elegance. The tannins are abundant and fine. Very complex. A lovely wine with serious cellaring potential - but it doesn't taste especially like shiraz and the mintiness is somewhat domineering.
