Medium-deep colour with a tinge of purple still remaining at seven years of age. Blackberry, black olive, tar, forest-floor and licorice aromas, a note of roasting meats emerging with age. Very intense and well concentrated palate flavour, deep and long with masses of supple, velvety tannins. Lovely, cuddly middle-aged Barossa shiraz, starting to drink at its peak now. Drink 2024 - 2032.

Deep, soft ruby colour with a tinge of purple. The bouquet is fragrant, red-fruited, gently minty and open-knit, with a lick of char-oak, the palate following on from there with savoury flavours and drying but supple tannins surrounding a delicious core of sweet fruit. The palate is quite intense, deep and lush with a trace of mint. It's weighty, satisfying and flavoursome in its relatively unpolished but hearty way. Drink 2021 - 2031.
