It’s now packaged in a Burgundy bottle and while the front label is more or less the same, it’s been tweaked. Anyway, you get the gist.
Wow this is impressive. Pure, rich and commanding. Blackberry and sweet plum flavours cruise into malt, cedar, earth and orange rind. Tannin comes in long chains, both majestic and seamlessly well integrated. There’s a deal of oak here but the fruit is mighty and in any case, it’s hand-in-glove. It’s absolutely in the fuller, richer, sweeter style, but it’s also an absolute beauty.
95 Points Campbell Mattinson, TheWineFront, Jun23, Drink 2025 - 2035The Wark Family are big on tradition…and for as long as anyone can remember, the rooster at their farm at Stonewell in the Barossa has taken the name of the breeder. Current rooster in residence and king of the coop goes by the moniker Jim….’Big Jim’….named after James Wark. Big Jim is noble, he’s handsome, he’s vigorous and he’s virile. A solid all round unit….and the perfect ambassador for the best Shiraz grown in the Wark Family’s vineyard.
This latest vintage of the Big Jim is sure to impress, packed with rich berry flavours and well balanced, classy oak. This wine is black in the glass and the rich Shiraz flavours are super concentrated courtesy of the low yields in the vineyard. 18 months ageing in a mix of 50% new French hogsheads and 50% seasoned oak has lifted the spice notes to a new level and given the wine really fine structure. Marnie Wark was given the task of bringing Big Jim to life in a painting to grace the front label…a big, black, bold and impressive bird he is, just like the wine that bears his name. Here’s to Big Jim…the rooster and the red!
