This striking shiraz exhibits stunning fruit richness and intensity, showing lifted aromas of blackberry, vanilla, chocolate tart, cedar and smoked game on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate that displays outstanding depth and opulence. It is compelling and symphonic with layers of silky texture and delicious flavours. At its best: now to 2032.

60+yo vines, matured in 100% new American oak. Follows in the footsteps of the Limited Series Shiraz, but is arguably a little lighter and a little more complex. But it's still full-bodied+, and if the price is no deterrent, this has decades of development ahead. These two wines have been given the benefit of the doubt.
