Inky ruby. Primary dark berry and floral scents show fine clarity and pick up hints of cracked pepper and licorice with air. Lively and seamless on the palate, offering juicy black raspberry, cherry and floral pastille flavors and a touch of smoky bacon. A bitter chocolate note appears on the clinging finish, which is framed by fine-grained, well-knit tannins. This is quite a savory example of the variety for Australia.
