// 99% Shiraz and 1% Viognier
"Complex and layered; sweet and savoury all at once. The fragrance is a melting pot of violets, raspberry, plums, a whisker of bramble, fragrant five spice and black olive. Moderate in weight; the summer pudding fruits come in all colours dialling up the flavour. There is cigar box and cardamom spice lending intrigue and a dry spice finish coupled by firm sinewy tannins that ably support the fruit." - Winemaker Notes
"Dense ruby with rich purple tones at the rim. Blueberry, ground cumin and fennel with a touch of reductive lift on the nose. Loaded with blue fruits at the core, intense yet not overbearing. There’s layers of cured meats, subtle Sichuan pepper spice and floral lifts along the line with deeper wakame and iodine tones underneath. It’s all bound by a supple acidity and finely wrought tannins, gentle in their guidance but resolute in their persistence, carrying it for an age to an eventual bright and fresh finish." - 98 Points, Stuart Knox, The Real Review
"Fermented with whole berries and matured in barriques (30% new). A medium-deep crimson purple. Concentrated with dark fruits, cedar and melted licorice. There's an earthiness, too. The palate is medium to full bodied, powerful and plush yet beautifully balanced. The tannins are subsumed by the fruit. Everything is in place for this beauty to become softer and more complex over the next 15–20 years." - 97+ Points, Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion
