Marathon

Deep black to purple colour, with a youthful vibrant purple rim. This vintage the wine leads with black fruit as the primary component. Black berries and black currants in almost equal amounts, some cassis to creme de cassis and dried black cherry jam with figs and fruitcake. Warm aromas with inviting secondary flavours of crushed rocks, graphite and slate. Beautiful oak integration - notes of charred toast lifts the aroma of the wine. The 100% new oak is in perfect balance and gives great roundness to the wine. On the palate the sheer size of the wine is evident. The tannin, fruit and alcohol is in perfect harmony.
