Brian Croser’s Tapanappa release from the mature and highly respected Koppamurra vineyard in South Australia. Scented with cassis, dark plums, cedar and plain chocolate, it delivers a lightly smoky expression of fully ripened fruit, oak and tight-knit tannin. With cassis and dark cherry on the palate, this is a beautifully balanced, structured and focused wine with a long, fine finish.
