Tasting Notes
This is a deeply expressive and modern Barossa Shiraz, crafted with precision and generosity by Giles Cooke MW. The nose is intensely aromatic, layered with ripe blackberries, dark plums, and purple florals, interwoven with cocoa powder, clove, and a whisper of vanilla from beautifully integrated oak. On the palate, it delivers impressive weight and plush texture, with waves of dark fruit supported by fine, ripe tannins and vibrant acidity. The mid-palate is rich and opulent without excess, unfolding into notes of spice, mocha, and a savoury undertone that adds depth and dimension. The finish is long, graceful, and harmonious, confirming the wine’s pedigree and drinkability—made all the more meaningful by the fact that every bottle contributes to a charitable cause.
