The quest to understand the name of this wine, as well as the wine itself, is now the stuff of legend.
This wine reveals the typical Malmesbury Syrah profile on the nose, with intense spicy notes supported by ripe plum, black fruit and violet aromas.
The wine has a grippy acidity and well-integrated tannins, with a nicely-textured and rounded mouth feel.
The long, elegant and succulent finish, with superb structure from the Cabernet Sauvignon, leads us to believe that this wine has at least 8 years of ageing potential.
