Sweetly ripe and perfumed on the nose showing dark plum, cherry, olive and floral aromas, it's juicy and beautifully rounded in the mouth offering plump mouthfeel and a lengthy silky finish. At its best: now to 2029.

Looking at the expressive label, with the train locomotive shaped a bottle of wine, I can picture shining wild black fruits, the red dirt under the train trails, the smoke, the leathery train seats imagine we are somewhere in the 1800s, and notes from old-school rolled tobacco. Then I can see some juniper berries, cracked pepper, and rosemary spring, most probably sprinkled over a rack of lamb served in the train’s first class. The palate is moreish yet boisterous, so quintessentially Barossa. There is a sweetness of fruit, yet sourness from that acidity, spices, and bitterness from the expanded tannins. Yet those tannins are firmer at the end of the palate, leaving a sort of granular feeling. It's a giving wine all the way through. 95 points Drink: now- 2038
