Australian red blend from Rosemount Estate, vintage 2001. A mature, full-bodied Shiraz-Cabernet with developed complexity. Deep garnet; nose shows blackberry, plum, dark chocolate, espresso, and spice. Palate offers black fruit, mocha, vanilla oak, and integrated tannins; long, smooth finish with leather and tobacco hints. Decant for immediate enjoyment; pairs well with roasted lamb, grilled steak, and aged cheeses.
