This wine presents an exuberant purple-red hue, accompanied by enticing aromas of charred, smoky oak, cured meats, and deeply spiced dark fruits. Full-bodied and lustrous, with a seamless texture, though the tannins may still feel a bit raw, indicating its youthful nature as it continues to evolve and integrate.

This project traces back two decades to 2001, capturing the essence of each season. These wines are not standardized products adhering to a rigid house style; instead, they reflect the nuances of each harvest, emphasizing balance and the unique characteristics of the year. In the words of James Halliday, it's akin to a Pinot Noir winemaker crafting Shiraz!
