Good crimson colour; brings to the table all the things expected of medium-bodied Mount Barker shiraz: spice and a touch of licorice, ripe red and black berry fruits, and fine tannins; oak too, is where it should be.

Blackberry and dark cherry, light creamy vanilla oak, cracked black pepper and licorice. It''s fleshy with smooth but persistent tannins that run the length of the palate. Interesting meat and savoury tobacco characters add further interest and its weight and texture are highlights - seductive. Should age well, but I like these wines young and heady as they afford so much drinking satisfaction. Helpfully I had a score of 93-94 and never quite decided - either way.
