Other Reviews…
Its deep, vibrant colour semaphores a shiraz that reflects the cool site, the exceptional '15 vintage, and skilled winemaking. It has a surfeit of spicy dark cherry and plum fruit, all the tannins one could wish for, and a long, well balanced finish. Still in its youth, of course, with a rosy future. Drink by 2035.
