A calm composed nose suggests great depth. Violets, cinnamon, peppercorns, smoke, stones, and dusty earth mingle with redcurrants, cherries and plums. The palate has todie-for weightlessness and is perfectly poised between a range of ripe, velvety fruits and savoury tones. The whole bunches and our ironstone soils conjure a slew of sweet and exotic spices threaded through the fine, ferrous tannins. Thoroughly compelling and cohesive from first sniff to the soaring finish. 'I love the direction we’ve taken with this wine, pursuing that Syrah style. The whole bunch parcels we’re getting are absolutely amazing – brilliant wines in their own right. The 470 clone has a lovely fruit profile and the big barrels are retaining brightness and uniqueness of site.' – Brian Kent
