The wine is an impenetrable red to black in colour, the nose is voluptuous with ripe plum, dark chocolate and rich oak.
The palate is a ripe and powerful expression of McLaren Vale Shiraz and manages to shunt what was a tough vintage.
The wine has great balance despite tipping the scales at 15.5 %, the tannins are firm and framing, the plum and dark cherry fruit concentrated and the oak providing a savoury and peppery lift.
The finish shows dark chocolate, plum and ripe tannins. The length is superb with a slight warmth.
