This blend of 60% Shiraz, 22% Cinsault, 10% Grenache, and 8% Mourvèdre has savoury, meaty aromas joined by black peppercorn and red berry notes. The medium+ bodied palate is spicy with nice aroma replays on the flavour profile and supported by fresh acidity and fine, supple tannins. Very good length on the savoury finish. Tasted Oct/2019.
