5/1/2024 - peter.mancell@mfg.com.au Likes this wine: 95 points

A truly excellent Barossa Shiraz.
Lovely texture and mouthfeel.
Terrific full fruit, just shy of glorious.
Nice long spiced finish.
First time tried, so glad I bought 6!

What a plush glycerine textured,dark fruit bomb. Love it!
Others may like more delicate wines, which this is not ….but with red meat, it is a Jaffa!
Not sure ratings from 4 and 5 years ago are relevant now but it is similar to some Orin Swift wines and The Prisoner…..as noted by one early tasting note.
So pleased we have more.

Love it!
Medium bodied; not a big brooding Amarone.
Nice dark fruit with a smidgen of red, lovely mid weight in the mouth. Spicy finish with a hint of acidity holding the vino together.
Wish we had more.
