  See previous notes: this is a powerful, yet complex Barossa on the nose: lots of layers of fruit, plus vanilla and some spice. The palate has supple tannins, full bodied, leading into a finish that’s starting to expose cigars and leather alongside the fruit. Still going well.

  Old vine of 1920 and barrel matured for 21 long months. Plum, cherries and raspberries upon initial pour that slowly reveals more darkfruits upon quick breathing, and it consists of dark chocolate too. Mild nuances of pepper on nose, rather low for an Australian Shiraz. Mid-intensity of darkfruits on the palate with sweetness of raisins that follows. Nice smooth velvety tannins with a trademark of Shiraz spicy sensation. Medium clean finishing. Preferred the Corryton Park Cabernet Sauvignon

  Archetypal Barossa Shiraz. Big, bold and full-fruited. Good oak, which is not over the top. Silky palate. This will be great in 5 years time.

  Intense old style Barossa with a lot of eucalyptus notes
  
  Ripe dark fruit aromas, followed consistently on palate with eucalyptus and dark berries.
