Very deep, bright red/purple colour. The bouquet is latent, deep and shy at this stage, quietly brooding and dense, with full body but not overdone, the alcohol and other components all in harmony. Licorice and kola notes. Serious structure. A very smart shiraz, which leaves the impression that it has more to show us, given time. (Piebald Gully & Gateway vineyards. 700 dozen made.
