Made in tiny quantities and only sold in airport shops in AUS, Asia and the United State; the packaging is at a level only previously seen with top end Special Bin Penfolds reds. Hand-picked from the Willandra Vineyard in the Barossa Valley, it is an outstanding wine, still amazingly youthful, with a cascade of plum, blackberry, licorice and multi-spice flavours on the very long, superbly balanced and focused palate. It spent 24 months in a mix of new and used oak, now totally integrated.

From the celebrated Hahn Vineyard in Ebenezer, matured in new French hogsheads. It's a massive, ultra full-bodied wine working on the principle that most of everything is best. Available only through cellar door or duty free. Dr Who needed to check it out.
