The bouquet is cassisy and spicier than expected, more fragrant than the Leston shiraz, fruit-driven and subtle. The palate is quite refined and elegant, with lovely balance and fine-grained tannins.

Both opulent and fine at once. The bullseye has been hit dead centre here. Oak, fruit, acid and tannin all pull together. Excellent wine, builds its own landscape. Blackcurrant-like flavour, luscious, is slipped with coffee-cream, leather, cigars. Dusty, fruit-filled tannin winds its way through, inexorable, unhurried, a river flowing over smooth long stones. The longer you sit with it, the lower the price seems. Drink to 2030.
