A seamless affair. Tobacco, blackcurrant, plum and malty oak sing in beautiful harmony; firm tannin singing from the same integrated songbook. Mint and dried herb notes make qualified contributions too. It doesn’t have a lot of spunk but puts not a foot wrong.

Deep red colour with a good purple tint and a mellow bouquet of earthy, nutty, faintly spicy Barossa character rather than varietal. It's full-bodied and very savoury, with abundant drying, earthy tannins and a rich, lingering finish and aftertaste. An interesting style, down-playing primary fruit and emphasising savouriness and tannin, but not oaky as they used to be. The tannins are mouthcoating and supple, ripe and classy. Good concentration and a very long carry. An impressive and delicious wine. (52% cabernet, 42% shiraz; about 20% new oak. Signatory is viticulturist Darrell Kruger)
