  A distinctly new wave SA Shiraz. Creamy French oak in an almost full bodied and muscular Shiraz. Lovely herbal notes, and Shiraz spice, play with creamy Shiraz red fruit. It’s very good to excellent. Will be much better in 3-5 years when the oak lets the fruit do more talking. Exceptional value at the wineries recent ‘mystery wine’ price. Glad to have picked up a few of these via the Duck. Thanks for the taste!

  A phenomenally produced and well structured wine.
  
  I opened this with my partner and drank over the course of a few hours from a decanter.
  
  Not a complex wine with soft tannins, great mouth feel. Raspberry flowing to blackberries with hints of spice.
  
  Still a little young, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this develops over the next few years.
