Strikes the palate like a well-timed cover drive. This is a wine of sweet and savoury impact. Black cherries, cloves, olives and floral notes. Quite beautiful. Tannin infused with notes of crushed dry leaf and earth. Scoots through your mouth and lingers appreciably.
96 points Campbell Mattison James Halliday Wine Companion
Deep red/purple colour; pepper, dry spices, savoury and mellow. Very tannic, dry palate with tight tannins and very focused grip. Full-bodied, dense and concentrated, with tight focus and great penetrating power. True concentration and length. An inner core of sweet fruit: a superb shiraz.04 APR 2014 Drink 2015–2039
