Balance. Elegance. Five-spice and a cherried, bright, aching plumminess that hints more at quality, complex, ageworthy shiraz than it does at the blackness one usually expects of the Barossa. Just beginning to add a coat of developed leatheriness, and now showing very little oak. Perfectly put together.

Medium to full red-purple; abundant ripe, sweet, dark berry fruit is married with French oak on the bouquet; the palate has excellent mouthfeel and structure with fine-grained but persistent tannins adding to the length of the wine. A particularly good outcome for the vintage.
