Yet another triumph for this highly regarded winery. The Unicus story is developing into a formidable body of work

It's a svelte shiraz. It's rich with sweet fruit, mostly in the plum and asphalt spectrum, though smoky oak, vanilla and clove characters play subtle-but-important roles. There isn't a lot of tannin to speak of but there's enough; it's simply melted into the fruit.

Deepish red colour with a glint of purple. Pepper-spice and nutmeg aromas, some green walnuts, the palate medium to full-bodied, lean and sinewy, with grip and grit.
