Description
// Shiraz 48%, Grenache 28% and Mourvèdre 24%
"Our affinity for working with old vine Barossa Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvédre began with John’s time at Penfolds, and continues with this wine - the first to be released by John Duval Wines’ from our inaugural vintage in 2003. On the nose, lifted aromatics with vibrant black fruits with underlying notes of cinnamon, woodsy spice and a hint of smokey oak. On the plate, there's generous layers of black and red fruits, balanced with abundant savoury spice and fine, velvety tannins, bright acidity ensuring it finishes long and pure." - Winemaker Notes
“Deep crimson. Lovely dark plum. Blackberry, mocha aromas with lifted liquorice notes. A well-balanced wine with deep set blackberry, dark plum, dark chocolate fruits, fine cedary, gravelly tannins and integrated walnutty, sandalwood notes. Chocolaty finish. Drink now to 2032." - 96 Points, Andrew Caillard MW, The Vintage Journal
