  The colour tells you much: limited fade, no bricking, dark purples still - this has more in reserve.
  
  Lovely nose. Gamey, roasting dish aromas, then dark berries, a whisper of vanilla.
  
  Palate is the fuller end of medium bodied. More rich fruits, sinewy tannin, vanillin again, good flow.
  
  In a sweet spot. Nice drinking now but this should cruise on for another decade.

  A Northern Rhone-esk 94+/100 (4.1/5.0) from me. This Cool Climate Reserve Shiraz hails from the highest elevated vineyards of the Hilltops region, Australia. The winery was recently voted 'Best NSW Winery'. And the wine picked up a show Gold and also an impressive 97 from Halliday who said it was "deeply complex with a nod to the Northern Rhone".
  
  The nose and medium bodied palate synchronise beautifully to display a Shiraz (and 2% Viognier) with Northern Rhone-esk qualities. As raspberries, blackberries, dark cherries, meaty game, a touch of liquorice, violets, pepper a spice roll majestically and seamlessly from the first whiff all the way through to the fine, lingering aftertaste.
  
  It's a very elegant, pristine Cool Climate Shiraz that is just starting to develop nicely. Try again in 2020.
