Fruit driven and structured Shiraz that will develop further over time. A wine that should be reflected by itself. Multi layered primary fruits that will develop into further complexity over time Appearance deep ruby On the nose the intensity is medium (+) with aromas/ flavors of black fruit ( blackberry, blueberry, black plums, black cherry), mint, eucalyptus, tomato leaf, vanilla, cedar, toast and some smoke in the background. Developing. On the palate the wine is dry with high acidity, medium (+) tannins, high alcohol and full body. The flavor intensity is pronounced and the finish is long. The quality is outstanding and can drink now potential for aging.

Asi som sa zamiloval do vín od Dana Standish.10 h dekantácie, víno spieva. Normálne sa usmievam. Hlboké,bohaté,nepriehladné, fialové až čierne.Aromaticky krásne - čučoriedky,moruše,maliny, zem,kov. Bohaté. Plné telo, stredná kyselina. Veľmi dlhá dochuť. Bez pocitu akejkoľvek horkosti. Alkohol majestnátne zapracovaný. Toto je pán kráľ Shiraz. Bravo !

Big, deep, dark and brooding. Perhaps even more so than my last tasting. Dark plum and blackberry. Dense fruit somewhat balanced by a drying complex spice back element (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, cardamom, allspice). Great accompaniment to firm strong cheeses. Perhaps a little more overpowering this time. 93.5. Not sure how this will develop over time.

Rich, dense and complex on the nose. Mint, dark fruit and structure in the taste. Powerful and fruit driven. Lasts very long time. A wine that should be drunk by itself now, contemplating and thinking how many wine types there are in the world. Young and it will be interesting to we what happens going forward.

Not sure if I agree with the $120 price tag but this was a big, full bodied fruit driven Barossa shiraz. Beautifully smooth, it will undoubtably cellar well.
