Very deep purple-red colour, young for its years, and the bouquet still has a lot of fresh vanilla/coconut oak showing, this quickly subsides to make room for blackberry and cassis aromas, touches of tar and ironstone, while the palate is very firm with mouth-coating tannins. Concentrated fruitcake and brandied cherries. It all bodes well for the future: it will reward many years of cellaring.

Dark, opaque and inky in the glass. Opulent aromas of stewed plum, mocha, dark chocolate, mulberry, graphite, sweet spice and panforte. Plush, full flavoured and decadently mouth-filling. The epitome of the iron fist in the velvet glove. Lusciously dark fruit driven, with fabulous shape and presence. Firm, structured tannins and punchy acidity keeps everything fresh, textured and bright. A true Barossa beauty

Dark and brooding aromas of dusty cedar and blackberry first up, followed by liquorice root, meat and iodine. Everything clicks into place with air, along with some emergent coal and cut leather. The palate is full bodied with a good burst of intensity in the form of blackberry, leather, mocha, and earth underpinned by savoury oak notes. Despite its dark aesthetic, it’s not weighty through the palate. A fine weave of mocha laced tannins work with good acidity to a long poised finish carrying black fruits and coal. Good complexity, finesse and length on show.
