The Shiraz offers dark plum fruits, mulberries and licorice with plenty of concentration, depth and velvety tannin The Grenache adds a lovely lusciousness to the wine with raspberry, blueberry and floral notes adding prettiness Both of the afore mentioned varieties also give a little white pepper character which has been accentuated in the cooler vintage and really acts as a point of interest Finally, the Mourvedre provides a perception of elegance and restraint through its red fruits with a hint of dried herb and fine chalky tannin
