  Inky purple with a hint of browning creeping in. Feminine nose, luscious ripe blackberry hits you first, fruits of the forest jam, some vanilla cream, hints of licorice and faint cedarwood, but its really the concentrated blackberry that's front and centre. All old barrels, no new oak used for maturation. The palate is juicy, supple tannins, fruit driven with that blackberry driving to a long finish. Great intensity and density, and a lovely change from oak bomb Shiraz. Paired with a 650g Rib Eye.

  Sehr voll und rund, würzig. Etwas Rauch, schöne Tanninstruktur. Die letzte Finesse fehlt, vor allem bei dem Preis.

  Late lunch at Sennett. Tasted blind. Drank in Grassl Cru.
  Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, pronounced intensity, with aromas of fruity black plums, blackberries, black pepper, black olives. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, high alcohol (14.5%), very smooth integrated tannins, full body. Pronounced flavour intensity, with flavours of blackberries, black cherries, black plums, black pepper. Long finish.
  Very good quality. Glossy polished and oh so smooth Aussie Shiraz. Just a little straight. Drinking well already and can also develop. Will last, definitely.
