The 1694 is pitch black in colour with a glossy, glass-coating rim.
Plush new oak, sweet spice and seductive fruit dazzle the nose with opulence and depth.
Ripe figs and bacon lead to dark chocolate, vanilla and blueberry compote on the palate. It is both succulent and titanic, as the Shiraz majority gives it sweet tannins, hints of wild thyme and enticing violets.
Suave and multi-dimensional, the palate is monumentally powerful and exquisitely plush.
Black fruit layers line a long and luxurious finish. Expect the Cabernet Sauvignon to show more presence in the blend as the wine ages over the next decade.
