Description
"Dark and broody aromas of plum and blackberry with sweet earth, spice, and hawthorn on the nose. An effortless approach and line, with sinewy tannins greeting on entry, flowing all the way to the back palate. Up front, this wine has all the hallmarks of the McRae Wood profile, then a wave of elegance, florals and spice, and a classic brooding finish." - Winemaker Notes
"Matured for 12 months in French oak (20% new). Savoury, spicy and intense shiraz here, with emphasis on the savoury. This has layers of shaved hung deli meat, Amaro herbs, a hint of bacon fat, mulberries, blood plums, salted licorice and tapenade, too. The tannins are firm, promising a long life in front of it, although everything is already so nicely integrated, you could drink it tonight. You could, but you shouldn't – it'll evolve so nicely over the years to come." - 96 Points, Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion
