Description

Native ferment, with 16 days on skins; maturation in a 2300L oak vat. This with a certain succulence allied with tension, a play of sour cherry spiced with caraway, tart raspberry confiture, red plum, haunting warm spices, orange-fruity coffee grounds, umeboshi, dried mint and bitter chocolate, and all feeling of fruit, of place, the winemaking subservient. The fruit swoops in on the palate, expansive but serene, with ripples of texture, tannins extracted masterfully, caressing, savoury but not drying, quietly commanding. Brilliant. 97 Points – Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion

Black fruit, black tea, black olive, but also has a lilac perfume, and maybe some ginger snap biscuit. It’s full-bodied, dense and ferrous, rolls like thunder on the palate, with superb inky tannin, a twist of iodine, manages to be dry and savoury while offering ample fruit sweetness, some red, some blue, some black, and the finish is very long, with chamois-like tannin stamping it with the seal of high quality wine. A beautiful and distinctive expression of Australian Shiraz. Yes. 96 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
