  Dark, deep, black-hued red colour, lighter on the rim. This has an elegant and stylishly restrained nose with aromas of ripe blackberries and dark raspberries with suggestions of black pepper, spices and some eucalypt. This is uncomplicated and very accessible. Medium-full bodied, the palate has rich and sweetly ripe fruit flavours of blackcurrants and dark raspberries along with notes of pepper and spice and a little liquorice, entwined with subtle eucalyptus nuances. The fruit is balanced by light, grainy tannin structure with integrated acidity. The fruit sweetness carries easily to a lingering spicy and juicy finish. This is a rich, juicy and sweet-fruited Shiraz with blackberry and raspberry fruit on a light, grainy-textured palate. Match with barbecued fare and Asian or Middle Eastern cuisine over the next 3+ years. 100% Shiraz fermented to 14.5% alc., the wine aged 12 months in American and French oak. 17.0-/20 Feb 2018 RRP $19.95
