"New oak, newly tanned leather, brown spices and pepper, dark berry fruit aromas of black and blue berry, liquorice, vanilla and toast; youthful and very engaging bouquet. On the palate – a big full-bodied wine - juicy, fleshy, fruity, warm and spicy, flavours of dark berries and bitter chocolate, plenty of tannins and equal acidity; very toasty and oaky yet concentrated and balanced as well. Drink now if decanted but best left in cellar to enjoy from 2021 through 2030+" Cameron Douglas, Master Somilier

"Dense, with sink-your-teeth-into-them tannins and fleshy notes of spiced plum and wild blackberry. Tobacco, espresso and nutmeg details add aromatic interest, but the focus and purity of the fruit flavours is most powerful on the long finish. Drink now through 2029" Wine Spectator

"This is gorgeous; classically Barossa and deeply delicious. The opulent bouquet shows black/blueberry, plum jam, vanilla and cedar characters with nuances of cocoa and smoked game. The palate is fleshy and plump, and delivers excellent fruit intensity, wonderfully complemented by velvety texture and supple tannins. Simply irresistible. At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2017

Identified varying interpretations of this classic varietal to blend together seamlessly, delivering a complex and layered wine with fruit intensity and suppleness. Lifted cherry and brooding dark fruit aromas combine seamlessly with sweet chocolate and mocha undertones. An intense, generous and full bodied wine with fine tannins and a soft, supple finish

The 2015 vintage came early and was followed by a cool and dry growing season with timely rainfall at veraison. The conditions produced red wines displaying a bright, dense colour and classic varietal characteristics

Food Pairing: This rich and bold wine perfectly complements the flavours of slow-roasted barbecue meat, such as a Wagyu steak.
