  Tasted from a magnum. Extremely deep in the glass. Ripe nose of plums, chocolate, coffee, baking spices. You would expect a bomb on the palate as well, but this is nicely tamed. Give it a bit of time in the decanter and you’ll be awarded. Great grip, expressed tannins and high acidity well-integrated in the Shiraz richness. The acid plays a big role here - so many Barossa reds lack it, making them overripe or flabby. Duval balanced this perfectly.

  When opened, can taste some acidity. Can taste dark fruits, black currant. After breathing 1-2 hours, acidity level dropped down. A pleasant drink overall.

  This is a really nice wine, bursting with potential but too young for now. I think it will be so much better in 3 years (or more). Intense fruit with redcurrant, plum, tobacco leaf, leather and earth. Very textured and savoury. The acidity is a little high for now, which is the element that needs to evolve further to integrate properly. Like I say, this is going to improve given more time.
