NOSE:Hugely floral with some instant violet lift with red and black cherry, blackberry, some cola berry leading into some sweet vanilla and cinnamon.

PALATE: Sweet fruit entry with lashings of fruit, sweet vanilla spice and milk chocolate. The fruit wraps around the chocolate and spice resulting in a beautifully textured wine which has a rich and balanced feel with fine silky tannins that linger for some time. The finish persists well after the wine is consumed.

FOOD MATCH: Rib eye & smoked duck

PEAK DRINKING: 10 to 15 Years

Gold Medal -Barossa Wine Show 2024

96 points- Huon Hooke - The Real Review 2024 - "Very deep, dark, concentrated colour, opaque; there's concentrated black fruits, spice and licorice aromas and generous char oak skillfully entwined. The wine is full-bodied and rich, deep and powerful and promises to cellar superbly."

95 points - Ray Jordon - Wine Pilot 2024- "This is pure Barossa shiraz. Colour is dense and dark with faint crimson hues. Earthy plum aromas with a little liquorice and brick dust. Plenty of weight on the palate which is supported with well managed oak. Has a slightly grainy texture providing a nice mouthfeel."

95 points - Sam Kim - Wine Orbit 2024 - "Gorgeously fruited and enticing, the bouquet shows black/blueberry, rich floral, warm spice, cedar and subtle cocoa notes, leading to a sumptuous palate delivering terrific fruit richness with velvety texture, finishing impressively long and satisfying. At its best: 2026 to 2040."
