A wine that truly transcends the reputation of the vintage. Typically it is deep in colour with fragrant blackberry, chinotto, mocha aromas with meaty roasted chestnut notes. The palate is well-concentrated and balanced with blackberry, cola, sweet fruit flavours, lovely vanilla roasted chestnut nuances and classical fine-grained structure. It finishes muscular firm and long. A very stylish claret style!

All Barossa Valley grown, as always. 51% new French oak though the rest went into 1-year-old oak. This has moved past the difficulties of the year quite beautifully. It’s ripe, elegant, well formed and lengthy. Tannin is ripe and seamlessly slipped into the fruit. Rich, ripe plum, soy, spice, smoky oak. All is borne on shiny, slippery, silken rails. Not a blockbuster but classy, juicy, complex.
