Mont Destin Destiny Shiraz 2008

Voluptuous, intense, sensuous and well-balanced. Complex and layered with mouth-filling rich, ripe cassis (black currant and blackberry) with hints of black pepper. A meaty savouriness with undertones of cedar wood and cigar box is apparent on the palate. The tannins are supple and the wine has a long finish.
