Reviews

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
Glass-staining dense purple colour, with terrific saturation. It's very rich and ripe, concentrated and profound to sniff, but surprisingly less oaky than anticipated. The wine is massive and dense, full-bodied and powerful, tightly-packed and solid, with panforte, dark chocolate, fruitcake and sooty, tarry nuances. But the oak is superbly intertwined and does not stand out. The tannins are dense and smooth, coating the mouth. A top RWT. Drink 2020-2050.
