Deep, dark red colour with glints of purple and black. The bouquet is sweetly super-ripe, very bunchy and almost jammy. A really pungent shiraz, with spice and vegetable nuances. The palate has firm but elegant tannins and very vibrant acidity. The vegetal notes - evidently from a solid whole-bunch component - permeate the wine. It does seem extremely ripe - it has that luscious, decadent fruit reminiscent of very ripe-year northern Rhône syrah. A sensational wine, but not quite ready. I'd cellar it. (Two days later, it was still drinking superbly. Sadly, the last vintage from this vineyard.).
