Power, finesse and elegance.
The Viognier is the secret sauce here. It gives what would have been a brute wine into something that is approachable and very refined (for a Barossa from a hot year!). Dark fruit with notes of cherry and plum on the nose, the body is earthy, sweet and bitter at the same time. There is an intensity but with superb balance and precision. Lovely tannin and acidity. Lovely long finish.
Drink now or 6+ years from now.

Deep ruby only showing moderate development. An intense and complex nose - liquorice, spice, black fruits, blueberries and charred wood. Great harmony between fruit and savoury notes.
Palate: full- body. Rich, velvety mouthfeel. Big but not overpowering. Persistent finish. Has a good 5+ years in it, probably more if well cellared. Excellent wine to see in the new year.

Enjoyable as this wine continues to age glacially. Not memorable. To be fair it was the 6th bottle of the night , so the bar was very high to be memorable :)

Fruit rather muted but smooth and complex. I probably would have enjoyed it more 3-5 years ago. It was good but not exceptional, so disappointing.
