Tasting notes:
The colour is a dense, dark brick red with garnet hues. The aroma is a postcard from McLaren Vale Shiraz. Attractive and ambrosial, this wine is simply begging to be tasted. It is filled with complex secondary notes of earth, savoury meats and game, clove, herbs and ripe primary redcurrant and blackberry.
Reviews:
95 points - Sam Kim (Wine Orbit)
“This is totally delicious; showing dark fruit richness with cocoa, spicy oak, charcuterie and cake spice aromas on the nose, followed by a sumptuous palate that's velvety and lingering. It's plush and opulent, while splendidly balanced and structured by fine tannins, offering fabulous drinking. 5 stars.”
94 points - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)
“Deep, dark, brooding red colour with good purple tints; youthful for its years. The bouquet is intense and bright, loaded with toast, spice, mint and coconutty oak aromas, plus some smoked-meaty overtones from bottle-ageing. Dark chocolate, too. It's powerful, concentrated, deep and penetrating, with noticeable acidity and liberal oak. The oak has been generously applied and is now starting to mellow happily into the wine.”
