Quite dense, a lot of dark chocolate, smoke and grape flesh/stalks on the nose. The palate hasn't got a lot of fruit or even much acid to it really. There's a bit of bramble and plum hiding in there somewhere, but it's dominated by thick chalky tannin. Short finish. Too young perhaps, but just doesn't hold much interest for me.

Nice, savoury expression of Barossa Shiraz. You get some blood plum and raspberry fruit but its tempered by earth and mineral notes. The wine has flesh with plenty of geological matter lurking just below the surface. There are notes of smoked meat and tar and there is a nice crunchy, tart edge to the finish.

Check-up on Australia with Tim Wildman, MW (Adelaide/Barossa): Medium purple. Nose of dark and red fruit with spices. Medium-light bodied with generous fruit and soft tannins. Medium length and good balance
