Bit of a kerfuffle regarding this wine of late with regards to retail allocations. Looks like it has all been sorted out now though. Messy messy messy. Anyway this is a new addition to the Seppelt family, and a good one, and also one that fits logically into the excellent Seppelt portfolio. They are all Victorian wines now you know.

Aromas of boysenberry/raspberry, black pepper, creamy spicy oak and a little licorice. Give it time in the glass and some mint/menthol characters emerge. On the medium to full bodied palate vibrant summer berry fruit, aniseed, pepper, spice and mint. Fairly firm tannins of the fine powdery kind.Tart acidity sends the wine off balance at the moment but this might sort itself out with further bottle age. Dry spicy finish.
