"Ripe plums, dark stones and earth, vanilla nad hard baking spice. Lithe and neat with long fine tannins, dark plum, red berries and a fresh finish."

"This is a single vineyard wine made (in the winemaker's words) 'naturally fermented over 21 days in open French oak puncheons, then hand bucketed and pressed to 31% new French oak from Francois Frères, and Gillet cooperages. It was allowed to mature for 14 months (then bottled) without fining or filtration'.

This is a good wine without it hardly trying. It has an effortlessness to it. It tastes of plums and kirsch and dark olives, though its sweet, nutty, cedary oak gives it a very attractive nudge along. I very much enjoyed the juiciness of this wine. The balance. The honest, unforced flavour. It doesn't have a massive amount of tannin but it has enough, and I suspect that it will mature very nicely indeed."

Smoky, spicy charred oak and red fruit aromas vie for attention in this stylish shiraz. Sweet essency ultra-ripe fruit flavours, ending with a touch of astringency and a leathery note. More savoury than their lovely Sableux bottling.
