Tasting Notes

COLOUR Saturated red core with a crimson rim. NOSE A first-impressional glimpse of red-fruited high notes - propelling mulberry, damsonplums and boysenberry. Following, scents of pastrami and moist slices of silverside sans mustard. Swirling and a little time in the glass liberate an ascent of wafts of deconstructed puttanesca sauce (caper / olive / tomato). Oak barely perceivable. PALATE From front to back palate, an immediate and gentle softness and freshness. This tactile smoothness / creaminess invokes an almost velour / felt / velvet / satin mouthfeel. Perhaps 'custardy / cream sago-like' tannins and balanced acidity induce this even emulsification? Derived flavours of quince paste and fresh white figs allow a modicum of fruited succulence. Certainly an alternative shiraz and mataro palate package! PEAK DRINKING Now - 2030.
