How large the JADV – 'just a dash of viognier' – is not known. Doesn’t matter. This is terrific. Ripe plums, baking spices, licorice, cedary oak and it's luscious across the full-bodied palate. The tannins are ripe and plump, there’s a savouriness throughout and a lot of pleasure within.

“7 Seconds” by Youssou N’Dour and Neneh Cherry plays softly in the background. A shiraz with viognier appropriate song, perhaps.
This is darker than expected, inky and rich, blackberries, plum, dried fig, salted liquorice and eucalypt-Aussie bush characters in the mix. Firm tannins swish through that supple blackness and the finish is all graphite and smoky spice. It’s a wine that feels firm now, destined for cellars, complex and satisfying with its stretch of deep fruit and spice characters. Patience.
