  Rote gives an excellent summary. For me the elegance sets the memory with a floral nose and ground fruits up front. Classy effort by the winemaker who has resisted pushing out a typical big Barossa clone.

  The maker is doing interesting things with Barossa wine; he is trying to remain true to the region whilst bringing a bit more finesse and elegance. The wines are worth trying, including his whites.
  
  Colour is typical Australian Shiraz - very dark and dense, garnet and some ruby, this is not showing any brick, so colour suggests it is still early in its development.
  
  Nose is quite lifted and perfumed on opening, pepper, some cinnamon, floral touches and dark plum. Initially quite luscious in the mouth, reasonable acid and soft but supportive tannins. It finishes with some light footwork, rather than the usual herd of Barossa elephants.
  
  The wine holds up well over 3 days and has many years ahead of it. A very pleasing expression of the good things about the Barossa without the Sonny Liston elements. I wonder if on another day I would have rated this much higher and been more enthusiastic. That's wine, I guess.

  the supposed top drawer wine of the eperosa collection. good, but not better than the magnolia shiraz, which comes at half the price of this bottling

  Shiraz that was planted 1860’s and 1950’s has a small amount of Malbec co-planted, making up around 5% of the blend. This wine is cool, calm and layered. It has raspberry fruit tinged with floral spice. It is very fine, building through the palate and driven on with stony tannins.
