Closure: Stelvin

From vines up to 128 year old with maturation taking place in predominately older American and French oak puncheons for a period of 24 months. Pitch black heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Liquorice, dark plum and blackberry scents sail out of the glass followed by some vanillin cedar, fennel and subtle peppered earth notes. Rich, velvety and plush, the palate is flooded with dark plum, liquorice and blackberry fruits which meld into a subtlety toasted vanillin oak, blueberry, fennel and peppered earth back drop. Combines the vintages trademark freshness with Barossa’s opulence. Excellent power and silky smooth tannins with a long, succulent conclusion.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 14.8%

Other Reviews…..
A heady waft of ripe red berries and a freshly mown meadow framed by eucalyptus trees sets the stage for a grand red berry entrance – plush, opulent and proud. This has rich redcurrant and blackberry speaking in a loud, clear voice, with the solid fruit platform propelled by a firm acid seam. It finishes tight, aided by a cluster of fine-grained tannins, which suggests a long, fruitful life in the cellar. Drink 2026-2039.
