Expert Reviews

Bronze & 88 Pts - Halliday Rating.

The bouquet is dominated by charry oak, while beneath dark fruits reside in abundance; the palate is fleshy, with black fruits and tar on the finish. - James Halliday, 3 August 2010.

Winery Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep crimson

Aroma

A rich perfume of blackberries, spice and vanilla.

Palate

This is a well structured, full-bodied wine with the wonderful Shiraz flavours of plum, liquorice and pepper spice. A lovely integration of vanillin oak adds to the luscious mouth feel and enhances the long fine finish.

Food

Ideal with rich red meat dishes such as peppered beef, roasted venison and braised ox tail.
