Nose
Intriguing aromas of eucalyptus, cocoa, spice, red licorice and underlying mulberry plum fruits. A complex wine which unfolds with time.
Palate
Beautifully supple with immense restraint and balance. The 2013 Five Ashes Reserve has a rich focussed core of fruit delivered in a moderate frame, and excellent drive finishing with precise graphite fine tannins. This is a wonderful example of the Five Ashes Terroir and what it can produce.
