The wine has a fine magenta colour with a purple rim, classic Central Otago aromas of black cherries, with plums, spicy and savoury notes with a rich palate. Fine tannins and length of after taste. Will cellar up to 5 years.

The wine has a fine magenta colour with a purple rim.  There are classic Central Otago aromas of black cherries, with plums, spicy and savoury notes.  The palate is rich with the taste of sweet fruit although the wine is dry.  The cherry, plum and savoury notes carry though and develop a lovely floral note. The rich texture masks a fine structure and fine tannins that lead into good length and persistence of flavours.  This wine is drinking well now, but will continue develop and reward cellaring for the next 3 to 5 years.
