Description
Appearance: The wine showcases an impenetrable colour reminiscent of the darkest nights, with hints of ruby emerging when held against the light.
Aroma: The glass reveals a vibrant array of berries, including blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry, black cherry, and bloody black plum. Delicate notes of coconut, acquired during an 18-month maturation in the finest American oak barrels, complement the fruit bouquet. Additional layers of aroma unfold with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, mint, and freshly ground coffee beans. A distinctive gamey, leathery, and savory quality emerges, characteristic of a wine that has aged for 10 years while still being in its prime.
Palate: The palate is greeted by dusty and smooth tannins that caress and leave a lingering impression. Like a well-brewed coffee, the wine offers a refreshing and pleasantly bitter aftertaste. It embodies the robust nature of a true Barossa wine while gracefully exuding elegance, akin to a ballerina. The wine showcases an exceptionally long length, promising a bright future.
Food Pairing Suggestions: For a perfect match, indulge in the wine’s full-bodied character by pairing it with a succulent Tomahawk steak grilled to perfection on the BBQ. It also serves as an exceptional complement to lamb curry, enhancing the rich flavours of the dish.
