Expert review
A fine example of the great Aussie blend, from Barossa Ranges fruit (a 60% 40% blend). Made from handpicked fruit from an excellent vintage, naturally fermented in open 500 litre vats with daily hand plunging, it then spent a year maturing in aged French hogsheads. Inky purple in colour, the nose has focus but still offers some oomph and punch, but always nicely kept in check and well balanced. Notes of chocolate, mocha, tobacco leaf, leather, licorice and coffee beans. The palate is seamless and exhibits a delightful touch of freshness throughout. The finish lingers nicely. Full of flavour, the wine has an unexpected lightness, which really appeals. So much to like here. Five to eight years, likely more, ahead of it.
