A huge departure from the Cote-du-Rhone styled 2009. This is right in heart of Victorian shiraz style, or more specifically, Heathcote style. The cigar-box characters that you look for in an aged Heathcote are already present here. This wine will be great with a few years on it, but there again so would so many other HSs. Such a shame that a unique wine in the Australian context has morphed into just another one of its type.

Wonderful aroma. Very good! Strong flavor with a dry finish. Not as spicy as other shiraz's. A little Smokey.
