🍷 A Bold, Spicy Barossa Icon—Depth, Intensity, and Old-Vine Luxury

✨ In the Glass
Deep inky purple with a crimson edge—dense and brooding, promising richness and power.

👃 On the Nose
Seductive and intense. Aromas of blackberry, dark plum, and black cherry are layered with cracked pepper, clove, smoked meats, and exotic spice—an aromatic nod to the wine’s name.

💫 On the Palate
Full-bodied and opulent. Plush dark fruits dominate the palate, wrapped in velvety tannins and supported by vibrant acidity. Complex notes of dark chocolate, star anise, and charred oak add depth, leading to a long, warming finish with a whisper of spice.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Ideal with slow-cooked beef brisket, barbecued lamb, venison stew, or grilled portobello mushrooms. A natural partner for bold, smoky, or spice-infused dishes.

⏳ Ageing Potential
Impressive structure and concentration—drink now with decanting or cellar for 10–15+ years to unlock further complexity.
