Winemaker comments by

John Duval

COLOUR Dense plum red merging to brick red on rims.

NOSE Intense blackcurrant and plum with malt, fig and

liquorice aromas that leap from the glass. This has

all the characters of a classic Grange.

PALATE What is promised on the nose is delivered on the

palate - a powerful, concentrated, opulent wine.

Layers of Shiraz fruit and first class oak manifest

themselves into a seemingly endless variety of

flavours - deep plum, liquorice, black olive and

chocolate.
