"Curious Beasts will certainly pique your visual interest, the label perfectly gothic and bloody looking. This wrapped wine is a red blend that offers black fruits, chocolate, spiced plums and leather with savoury undertones. The palate follows suit it's supple and has good freshness - cherry, black plum flavours with oodles of chocolate and blackberry trailing on the finish. It will pair with dark chocolate (spiked with chilies would be great) or serve with grilled meats or chili con mole." January 2013

Tasting Notes
Lifted blackcurrant, violets, mint and capsicum dominate the bouquet with traces of subtle cedar oak. With the palate showing intense briary blackberry, herbaceous tomato, morello cherry flavours enhanced by hints of quince and black olive. This powerful Cabernet is framed by firm tannins and structured oak, has great length and built to live.
