Decanter 93 points - Winemaker Lindsay McCall’s homage to Cote-Rotie: cool-climate Shiraz fermented with 5% Viognier and aged for a year in old barriques

The opulent fruit skilfully pairs with a polished tannic acid structure and ensures the full bodied body. The wonderful scent of black pepper, bourbon vanilla and violet should be emphasized, complemented by notes of smoked ham and juniper wood. A unique treat!
