The colour is as if a Transylvanian Count had visited his tailor and asked for a formal dress cape. Deep, dark, plummy, dense. Impenetrable. Deep aromatics. An inky essence. Perfumed with musk and nutmeg; cinnamon and star anise; boysenberry, freshly crushed and folded bay leaf - and Szechuan pepper gently cracked. These aromatics are intensely layered and mask a deft dose of the best and subtlest oak spice. Velvet. Texture. Tannin. And this tannin is always just - just - in the background, providing that essential support and structure to the rich and deep fruit flavours. Savoury plums and white chocolate. A long acid finish that stretches this tightly coiled red wine out. Here is a quintessential Eden Valley shiraz. Flavours run the gamut ends: eucalyptus to raspberry; blackberry to pepper; olive to plum. Winery Note
