The 2002 vintage from McLaren Vale is recognised as one of the greatest in living memory producing wines that have confounded enthusiasts, critics and winemakers alike.

Impenetrable pitch black core with a very dark red black tinged hue. Heady scents of liquorice, blackberry and dark chocolate fade into vanillin oak, earth, leather and spice notes. Rich and still holding onto its voluptuous fruit, the lavish full bodied palate is layered with opulent liquorice, blackberry and dark chocolate flavours which meld into a back drop of earthy leather, vanillin oak and spice. Amply powered it has silky smooth tannins and finishes long and seductive with tertiary characters of earth and leather lending further complexity.
