2014 John Duval Entity Shiraz, Barossa Valley

From old vineyards in Krondorf, Marananga and Eden Valley, open-fermented with submerged cap (header board), matured for 15 months in French oak (35% new). Succulent, rich and powerful, with predominantly black fruits and some spice. The hallmarks are its supple mouthfeel and effortless balance.

96 points James Halliday winecompanion.com.au

Deep purple red. Nose is dark fruit expression of blackberry and plum, complexed with savoury French oak. Palate is full-bodied and generous with excellent depth of blackberry fruit, supported by the tannin structure. Texture and structure will enable good cellaring potential.
