Clear, deep dark purple showing very little signs of age.
Nose is clean with blackberries, mint, eucalyptus, white pepper and cloves
Full bodied, medium plus tannin, medium acid. Taste is similar to the nose. Add some bitter dark chocolate, American oak presence, with a long blackcurrent, blueberry finish.
Finish is medium plus. Tasting very young for an 8 year old. Still a good few years till peaking. Good representation of a classic Barossa GSM blend.

Consistent with prior notes. Smooth and jammy. Very versatile.

Nicely balanced, hints of tobacco on the finish. Has always been a great Aussie Rhone.

Some redcurrants and spice on the nose. Intense dark cherry and raspberry fruit, black pepper, cocoa and a quite hot finish.
