An outstanding blend. Very deep black crimson colour with black mauve hue. The nose is superb, with lifted top notes of raspberry and violets, followed by a touch of liquorice allsorts. Mouth filling palate with flavours of raspberry, blackberries and spice – all very concentrated. Velvet smooth tannins contribute to the richness of flavours and are followed by an aftertaste of raspberry, blackberry, black pepper and liquorice allsorts.
Cellar 2-3 years. (2006-2007)

Robert Parker Review:
An excellent value, the deep ruby-hued 2003 Brave Faces (a 2,000-case blend of 65% Shiraz and 35% Grenache from Barossa) boasts terrific fruit intensity along with gorgeous aromas of raspberries, black currants, and cherries. Grenache’s kirsch/licorice component is nicely balanced by the blacker fruit character and smokier notes of Shiraz. Drink this opulent, hedonistic, savory 2003 over the next 3-4 years.
