Notes:

This wine is rich, intense and inky with amazing depth of colour and youthful appearance. The nose shows ripe black berries dominating - from the Eden Valley portion - with dark cooking chocolate, tar and liquorice, accompanied by mocha oak sweetness. The palate is rich, ripe and enveloping, with amazing structure and strength - from the Barossa Valley fruit - and complex flavours of violet, liquorice and plum. An excellent balance of fruit and oak tannins that will reward cellaring.
