Intense, lifted aromatics of dense cherry and dark chocolate come to the fore with an opulent fruit profile of mulberry and five-spice. A silky textured palate of deep red cherry fruits, clove and liquorice all interwoven with hints of sweet spice and cinnamon. The layers of fruit characters continue to evolve in the glass with hints of ironstone, anise, blackberry, and pepper all becoming more persistent in the finish. Although unmistakably Barossa, a dash of Viognier (2%) gives a nod towards the Northern Rhône Appellation of Côte-Rotie.
