The 2001 vintage produced good yields thanks to warm, dry weather throughout the flowering season. Each small parcel of Shiraz was vinified separately and matured in French oak barrels. The result is a firmly structured complex Shiraz, with lifted aromas of Christmas cake/plum pudding, cocoa, mocha, leather/suede and bitter cherries and prunes. The full-bodied palate has flavours of plums, leather, spice, and cardamom and will definitely improve with careful cellaring of up to 15 years.
