Tasting Note

Colour - At release, the wine is a striking, dark cherry colour which sits at the mid-point between black and ruby. Nose - Generous and immediately offers sweet, spice characters of fine oak lifting from the glass. These are underscored by fresh, red plum and cherry fruit characters that sit confidently at the heart of the wine. Palate - The palate shows considerable structure. There is much to enjoy now, with vanilla and liquorice root notes in abundance through the mid-palate and layering beautifully onto the back-palate and finish, whilst blueberry and ripe dark plums define the overall heart of the wine. The tannins have a velvety softness to them that is neither bitter nor over-firm, reminiscent of sweet plum skins and reinforcing the sense that this wine shall develop exceptionally well in the cellar.

This splendid luxury offering imparts notes of rich, ripe fruits like black cherries and blackberries, balanced by spicy undertones and oak nuances, derived from aging in select barrels. The palate is characterized by a robust tannin profile, coupled with a velvety texture and an enduring finish, bespeaking its inherent quality. Grown in Clare Valley's verdant vineyards, this distinguished Shiraz, with its full-bodied and complex character, perfectly typifies the world-renowned prowess of Australian winemaking. Ideal for special occasions or as a collector's item.
