Medium deep colour. Intense dark plum, blackberry, praline aromas with savoury, malt, mocha oak complexity. Densely concentrated dark plum, blackberry fruit with praline, malt, espresso oak notes, fine plentiful grainy tannins and underlying smoky, liquorice notes. Lovely firm finish with plenty of flavour length. Very generous and classic with beautiful new oak integration. A really impressive wine based on single vineyard fruit. With the vineyard under radical renovation in 2016, this is will be seen as an important reference vintage. 2020-2030

Ranked 6 of 24 2014 Shiraz tasted from Adelaide Hills. Deep red/purple colour and a strongly coconut-marked bouquet. The palate is again coconutty and not as powerful I fancy as some previous vintages of this wine. It''s softer, lighter and shorter, although still a very good red wine. The oak is sitting on the wine somewhat at this stage. It really needs time. The question is: will it always be an oakier wine? (100% new oak, for the first time ever; a mix of French and American)
