Tasting notes:
A purple core remains deep out to the rim. The aromas are a combination of fresh blackberries and blueberries, plum jam and licorice strap. The palate is medium to full bodied. It is driven by dark fruits and offset by sweet spice and a hint of pepper on the finish. It is at once soft and pleasant while lingering on the palate and showing strong ageing potential.

It's gorgeously appealing on the nose with Black Doris plum, ripe cherry, olive and vanillin oak characters, followed by a wonderfully weighted palate delivering ripe fruit intensity with silky texture, finishing long and delectable.

This is a such a good little red wine displaying so much that speaks of Langhorne Creek. Dark plummy blackberry fruit flavours with a decent sprinkle of black pepper and dried herbs. It’s medium weight but with a deceptive power and length.

Langhorne Creek shiraz, always made in hearty style. This release is particularly hearty. It’s definitely and defiantly full-bodied. Chocolatey, clovey, toasty oak sits slightly separate from the fruit, but still manages to aid the cause – and then some. Tar, saltbush and blackberries. Loaded up. Moutfilling. Dense to look at and to taste. Slippery-smooth. I’m pretty sure you’ve got the idea. Lovers of a Big Red, ready for drinking now, should be right onto this.
