  Beautiful mature Shiraz. Very complex nose, right between primary/secondary aromas and tertiary aromas (mint, blackberries, tobacco, spices...); hmmm, this is quite a nose). You get very similar aromas on the palate, with very smooth tannins and a long finish. Enjoy now or cellar for another 10 years, without any problems.

  dark red. rich and intense palate with dark fruits, less spices, but more sweetness. some liquorice and violet notes. good weight, but a little shorter than expected. a wonderful McLaren Vale.

  closed nose, less fruity, more acidity and woody, this bottle tastes a little unbalanced. weird.

  Deep purple, opulent aromas of blackberry, dark plums and cinnamon. Fantastic rich but balanced palate, spice, cinnmaon, dark fruits, liquorice, great length. Some bottle age evident but will mature fully over the next 5-10 years

  Michael & Vivian Family House Warming Party (Henderson, Auckland): black doris jam, dark chocolate. stunning density. m+ finish with sweet herbal, mint and cedar flavours. an opulent McLaren Vale!
