Deep, brooding red/purple colour. The bouquet shows the smoky, coal-dusty, sooty and roasted meat Barossa shiraz characters. It's full-bodied and rich, soft textured and balanced, with a more elegant mien than usual for this wine. The fruit purity roars through this wine. Very full-bodied and of sumptuous flavour, it is big and concentrated but also superbly elegant. A really charming RWT. Oak is sensitively handled, and the wine has ballerina-like poise and balance, before a long and wholly satisfying aftertaste.
