Description

Crafted from an assortment of clones across five separate plots, divvied into select parcels to create, in all, nine batches of pre-blended wine. Fermented in open and closed fermenters with a dash of whole-cluster fruit, before transfer to a variety of French wood for a year of maturation. The result is a lustrous shiraz. Magenta. Dark berry fruit aromas flecked with mint and bitter chocolate, segue to a rich mid-palate of licorice strap, varnished leather and chewy tannins doused in coffee grind, servicing an emphatic finish. This needs time. Far fresher than past years. 95 points - Ned Goodwin, Halliday's Wine Companion

A very assertive, dark-plum and blackberry style with espresso-laced fruit on the nose and a sturdy frame of tannin, carrying flavors long and juicy. Ripe, dark fruit, plenty of spice and roasted coffee here. Drink or hold. Screw cap. 93 points - James Suckling
