It has you cruising for a bruising and then it just brushes past you with the lightest of touches. This is Barossa shiraz in its black tie best. It’s rich, it’s black, it’s carved with tannin and yet it’s soft and svelte. You’ve signed on the dotted line before you’ve thought through the repayments. The release notes mention chestnuts. It’s not a bad call: there are nutty notes here but they’re sweet and smoky. There’s a whiff of coffee. A sizeable surge of classic blackberry and plum, pegged to soy and earth. Undeniable shiraz.

Very deep, bright purple/red colour. Fresh and clean, less-oaky than Magill Estate this year. The palate is wonderfully fleshy, rich and supple, laden with ripe tannins, the texture is seductive and the palate is seamless and long and marvellously fine. Discreet notes of chocolate, mocha, coffee, spices and earth as well as red fruits, but it''s all so well harmonised: nothing stands out. Power and length.
