Slightly barnyard. Quite sour and low on fruit and uneven. On day 2 it is much improved suddenly full of rich ripe fruit. also more balance. Well. That's a wine that needs to breathe!

Notes
Alcohol: 15%
Screw Cap

The palate is juicy with weighty, red-fruited Shiraz dominated by plums, rhubarb, cherries, strawberries, mulberry, smoked bacon, white pepper and flower characters then a level of black currants and fragrant spice from the Cabernet and Petit Verdot appear. On the second sip a lovely mulberry tar-like character of Merlot starts to fill the palate with vivid, deep-red cherry flavors mixed with a hint of sage leaf, cloves and turmeric from the Petit Verdot which fans out across the finish with a grippy but polished finish.
