Other Reviews....
Brilliant, violet color. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe black and blue fruit preserves, exotic spices, candied licorice, vanilla and dusty minerals and a sexy floral pastille nuance emerges with air. Offers energetic blackberry, boysenberry and cola flavors that take on star anise and mocha notes on the back half. Shows powerful thrust and sharp delineation on a smooth, impressively long finish that's shaped by velvety, slow- building tannins. Drink 2025 - 2035.

Josh Raynolds - Antonio Galloni's Vinous

Matured for 16 months in French hogsheads (83% new). All the power and glory of full-bodied Barossa Valley shiraz achieved at (relatively) modest alcohol. French oak is another plus for a wine stacked - with extreme care - full of dark fruits and ripe, rounded tannins. Makes winemaking look easy, which of course it isn't. Length is the key to a great wine. Drink by 2040.
