Astounding VFM. Admirable winemaking. Fresh, structured, restrained...dare I say elegant? For Barossa, yes. A marriage of new world ripeness and old world attitude.
1st day: A complete smoked meat fest, high tannin, blind I would call ripe N-Rhone.
2nd: Tense, structured, M+ Tans, brooding dark fruit, spice and old leather.
3rd: Harmony, sweet potpourri spice, subtle old oak, dried plum, palate of earth, old leather, dried dark cherry, creamy cut with fresh acidity and M Tans.
£12 no-brainer.

Attractive wine for the table. Finishing it after eating found a tannin character which seems to need yet more time.

Lovely. Dimming a little on Day 2 despite care.
