The hue of this wine is an opaque deep crimson with purple hues showing beautiful intensity. The nose is lifted with black fruit, spice and plum characters with some smoky oak nuances. The palate has rich glossy black cherries and raspberries with some underlying herbal, mushroom and meaty complexity. The Gibraltar Rock has sweeter fruit than the Mount Barrow and a more masculine tannin structure to match, which give a powerful mouthfilling middle palate. Red fruits continue through the finish with complex smoky oak and forest floor hints, balanced by the clean acid and fine silky tannin
