A sweeter wine across the board. Less subtle than the Voices? Perhaps, but more traditionally rich in the classic Barossa style. Especially on the palate where the combination of sweet Barossa Shiraz and spicy earth flavours combine. Still fresh a decade down the track, and with sweet licorice and spice flavours following right through to the finish
The wine spent 2 years on lees in 50/50% French and American oak. An outstanding shiraz from a great vintage, with layer-upon-layer of black fruits, spice and licorice framed by ripe tannins and oak, the latter perfectly balanced and integrated. Despite its complexity and power, it is elegant and little more than medium-bodied.
