Sample
A dark red in the glass, the wine takes some time to open up in the glass, when it does there is graphite and savoury characters alongside plum and cherry fruit.
The palate doesn't have the balance and silken texture i'd expect from Barossa, the acid is a little angular and oak more evident than fruit. There is a little spice and bitumen that certainly adds interest, but this wine needs time to come together.
