Superbly ripe and perfumed, the wine shows black/blueberry, mocha, cedar, olive and rich floral aromas, followed by a concentrated palate that's dense and delectably flavoursome. Opulent and mouthfilling. Tasted: July 2022; Now to 2038; Price: $480.00; Rating: 96 Points; Sam Kim; Wine Orbit

Oh my. This is what Barossa shiraz is all about in an outstanding vintage. It’s all about the vines, fruit selection and then further barrel culling to produce a limited release wine that speaks articulately of the Barossa and its rich heritage. Powerful and concentrated yet velvety smooth. The perfumed aromas of spices, violets and dark plum with a little dark cherry are captivating. The palate is lavish and rich with great texture. It is a wine that will handle extended cellaring. Price: $480.00; Drink: To 2042; Rating: 97 Points; Ray Jordan
