Finer and more elegant than Native Goose, with a surge of juicy fruit flavours coursing through the mid-palate, tannins and oak perfectly balanced.

Deep purple-black colored, the 2010 Old Vine Shiraz Reserve Release is a little mute to begin, giving way to aromas of crushed blackberries and cassis with whiffs of eucalypt, chocolate box and cinnamon stick. The palate offers a great concentration of taut, muscular primary flavors with a solid structure of firm fine tannins and crisp acidity, finishing long with the spices coming through. Still tight-knit and youthful, consider drinking it 2013 to 2019+.
