Unbelievably good. complex layered dried herbs, leathery nuances just appearing- will develop with a few more years, violet flavoured fleshy mouth filling fruit, not a fruit bomb - very restrained, oak integration is EXCELLENT, tannins are not huge and i think this wine will peak in the next 3 years. Very very good. - needed 60 to 90 minutes to open up. decant next time.

My first impressions of this wine weren't impressive but that was a couple of years ago. This beauty is drinking superbly now. Long chocolate and ripe cherry flavours dominate a smooth but powerful Shiraz. It starts out a balanced bitterness with the fruit up front and finishes long dry with subtle caramel sweetness. The ideal irony for an enjoyable wine.

Rich plum, red berries. Very rich classic Barossa Shiraz. Lovely balance with tannins subdued.
