Color: deep dark crimson red with a violet core

Fragrance: in the bouquet, grape variety-typical notes of violet and pepper alongside spicy, sweet hints of oak (vanilla, cocoa powder) and fruity aromas of tangerines, red currants, cranberries, mulberries and elderberries, after a little ventilation, cedar wood with a touch of pink pepper as well as fine malty hints, which are reminiscent of the expansion à la Penfolds

Taste: On the palate, lush aromas of dark cherries, mocha, chestnuts and anise merge with the rather subtle, elegantly integrated oak wood, followed by smoky, spicy hints (a bit like ham) alongside spicy, sweet notes of fruit bread, cinnamon and licorice, clearly structured , at the same time velvety soft and supple with silky tannins, clearly Barossa Shiraz made from French oak and yet almost European in style, more Rhone than South Australia, an RWT with clear vintage character and promising potential
