Matured in 50% new French oak for 19 months. This stands like a bouncer at the door of a nightclub, all sinew and muscle and brawn, black t-shirt (or label) and all. It offers dense blackcurrant-driven fruit, big bones of tannin, rippled mouthfeel and complexity in the form of ash, woodsmoke and tobacco characters. It almost makes you want to squeeze the shoulder of the bottle, to see if you can feel its bulging fruit. One thing is for certain: this wine walks the talk, delivering the kind of rock-solid complexity, structure and fruit that will see it age (beautifully) over the long term.
97 Points, James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au, Aug 2023
A special release alongside 95 Block, the fruit is from two particular parcels - 50+ year-old naturally low-yielding vines that produce particularly concentrated shiraz. A counterpoint to other South Australian shiraz, it is made in a lifted and medium-body style, showcasing the purity and elegance of the cooler Coonawarra region.
Single block shiraz is from 50+ year old vines from John Kidman's vineyard.16 months in French oak hogsheads (20% new). It is made in a lifted and medium-body style, showcasing the purity and elegance of the cooler Coonawarra region
