I have a romantic appreciation of this wine, as a younger man i worked at a restaurant that was next to the Shadowfax winery, it was the place that I discovered my two loves - my now wife and wine. It's a pleasure for me to try a wine that i was enjoying myself and serving to others over a decade ago. Enough of the sop story, now time for the wine !

A medium red that is starting to show some signs of bricking towards the rim, the nose is moving towards a secondary mode with leather and undergrowth to plum fruit.

The palate is medium bodied with an elegance that comes with age and combines brambly dark fruits with olive and leather. There is a saline aspect that is both unique and appealing. The finish is drying and lingers with a melange of fruit and earth. This will get through to it’s 18th birthday with ease.

I do wonder what happened to the One Eye, Argyle and Pink Cliffs vineyards in Heathcote ?
