Notes

Hand picked, fermented in milk vats, 30% whole bunch, then basket pressed to ex Chardonnay casks. Unfiltered. 3000 bottles produced.Incredibly purple. My goodness it's so purple. Fresh blackberry and boysenberry, pepper and flowers, spice and grilled steak, and as such a young wine, just a little fresh bread dough. Medium-bodied, dense and tightly packed, dark chocolate and pepper with a meaty character, but still pure of fruit, raspberry pie and the like. Tannin has a shale-like quality, layer upon layer of them. Spicy and a saline edge on a long dry finish.95 PointsGary Walsh - The Wine Front

Description

Meaty and spicy, black olive, blackberry and black cherry, some dried flower perfume. It’s medium-bodied, but quite dense, saline and savoury with ripe dark cherry, orange peel and liquorice flavours. Tannin is soft but kind of silty in feel, quite mild in acidity, and the finish is meaty, spicy, and long. It feels a little less spritely than previous vintages, and different too, perhaps more typically Barossan, though maybe deeper and more concentrated. Very good anyway.
