Deep garnet with bright red hues. Vibrant dark berries and black currant accented by hints of chocolate. A touch of anise is accompanied by subtle notes of spicy oak. Stylish with a rich, fruit-driven palate. Medium- to full-bodied with flavors of ripe forest fruits, spice and hints of cocoa are followed by a long, bold finish.

Rating for Australia-South Australia-Adelaide-Fleurieu-McLaren Vale: 96 (excellent)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>
