Expert Reviews

Silver & 91 Pts - Halliday Rating.

While the alcohol is said to be (only) 14%, has an abundance of blackberry, plum, licorice and dark chocolate fruit on the medium- full-bodied palate, the tannins ripe and soft. Very good outcome for the vintage. - James Halliday, 26 July 2009.

93 Points - Jeremy Oliver

Deep crimson

Aroma

Dominant blackberry aromas combined with pepper spice and anise.

This is a well structured, full-bodied wine with chewy tannins typical of the great Barossa Shiraz. It has rich blackberry and plum flavours with a hint of liquorice and vanillin oak with a long, seamless finish.

Food

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