Winemaker: Carel Nel. This blend of 53% Shiraz, 9% Touriga Nacional, 6% Tinta Barocca and 2% Touriga Franca is a bit reserved at first, offering only subtle suggestions of cassis, black plum and blackberry leaf on the nose. The palate shows a bit more fruity expression in flavors of ripe blackberry preserves and wood-grilled plum, with a beautiful spicy overlay of cigar box, wood spice and light char that carries through to the lingering finish. It's well-balanced and broad in feel, with the structure and stuffing to mature well through 2029.
