A deep plum red at the heart which pales out to ruby at the edges. Aromas are classic restrained Shiraz, showing style with the oak and its concomitant spice and vanilla. There is an undertow of fynbos herbaceousness. There is a richness and generosity of fruit supported by the oak, and fine tannins. A truly impressive glass. Eminently drinkable now, though it will reward you after a couple of years of cool cellaring.
