Very deep, bright purple/red colour. Youthfully bright but subdued aromas of violet and mixed spices, fruit driving the show. The palate is tightly-focused and firm, a clenched fist, with dramatic drive and intensity. Superb flavour, freshness and vitality, with a lingering after-palate. (A new wine, all Eden Valley. Vine age ranges 35 to 100 years old. 20% new oak)
