Description
"Selected from a single block high on the hill, where the soils are shallow and the sunlight is even, you can expect the Beast to exhibit great concentration of flavour and richness, with soft grippy tannin. Profile of forest berries, spiced plum, dark chocolate, liquorice, cinnamon, and cigar box. Textures of fine grained tannins, with exceptional palate length. A powerful, robust red with great oak integration." - Winemaker's Notes
"Extraordinarily deep, saturated, bright and glass-staining purple colour, amazing at two-plus years of age, and the aromas are similarly intense and bright, concentrated red and darker fruits with a subtle lacing of mocha and vanilla from well-judged oak maturation. A very full bodied shiraz with lashings of tannin and extract, superbly harmonious acidity helping keep it fresh and vibrant. An elephant in a tutu. A luxuriuous red wine and a great example of full-throttle Western Barossa shiraz." - 96 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
