07 seriously styled; pungent capsicum/vine tomato aromas; 6 mths oak supports complex layers of fruit, currently suppressed by austere steeliness & taut acid. Not for faint hearted, needs time to open & reveal charms. (Platter 2009)

360° is created in a style for enjoyment with great food, starting off with an expression of a lime green tinge. Emanating from the glass are wonderful flavour combinations of Khaki bush, peas, asparagus with some beautiful ripe green fig flavours, and flinty herbal accents. The palate gives exceptional richness, with ripe fig flavours and a hint of fennel leading to a powerful, crisp finish.
