The 2015 Bin 0 Shiny dark red with a garnet hue. A complex nose of red and blue fruits and an abundance of spice and floral notes including licorice, white pepper, chai tea and rose petals. Vibrant red fruit flavours on a medium bodied palate. The fine integrated tannins draw out the flavours for a long finish.
A classic Bin 0 that will drink well now with food, but will benefit from some more time in bottle. Will reward both short term to long term cellaring (20 years+)
Deep colour; the bouquet immediately wrests attention to its profound black fruits that follow hot on its heels in the full-bodied palate. Has remarkable power and intensity to the array of black fruits, licorice, spice and pepper flavours bound by French oak. Intensity is the keyword.

I saw reference to “nori seaweed” as a descriptor for this wine in the accompanying press release. I was doubtful. Then I tasted it. You’ll never guess what happened next.
The wine did indeed reference nori seaweed. And it was indeed part of its unique, dare-I-say-it tantalising appeal. This is shiraz as a class act. Cherried, plummy, minty, flushed with acidity, mid-weight and yet ultimately complex. It’s velvety, it tastes of chicory, kirsch and peppercorn, it is influenced by sweet, cedary, toasty oak and it’s firm with fine-grained tannin. It is ultra-young and has an ultra-long future ahead.
