‘Rich and Silky this is a beautifully made Barossa Shiraz without the slightest sense of heaviness’

Totally opaque midnight black colour with a very deep purple black hue. Scented aromas of liquorice, ripe blackberries and dark plums leap from the glass followed by some vanillin oak, dark chocolate, subtle toastiness and spice. Full bodied yet with a feeling of finesse the palates rich opulently textured fruit flavours of liquorice, ripe blackberries and black cherries are far from over the top with nuances of dark plums, subtle dark chocolate, vanillin oak and spice also present. Silky smooth tannins. Very long sumptuous aftertaste of ripe blackberries, liquorice, dark plums, vanillin oak and spice.
Cellar 8-10 years.
