  Well structured balanced wine at its prime. Black cherries and prunes with tarry aromas. Velverty with an elegant finish.

  Cork, 14.5% alc. Very dark opaque red colour. Pristine cork.
  
  Almost consumed too quickly to take any notes.
  Rich, sweet, glossy nose of blackberry, star anise, grilled meats, and lipstick.
  
  Powerful sweet-fruited palate. In addition to the aromas listed above, there is also some coconut and coffee oak. The dusty tannins are still quite prominent. Very good length.
  
  Opinion: Rich Barossa Shiraz, though it’s well-structured and certainly not over the top. No sign of falling over. Some further development may be possible, but it should at least hold in this good condition for at least the next decade, cork permitting.
