About the wine
Tasting notes
Classic elegant claret from the Yarra Valley – aromatics of blackcurrant, cherries, cocoa, and tobacco leaf. The palate is medium with ample freshness. Svelte, integrated tannins that build in weight as the wine opens up. Earthy flavours of cassis and coffee, dark chocolate and cherry dominate with excellent length and moreish acidity.
