🍷 Appearance
Deep, inky crimson with purple highlights in the glass, showing immense concentration and intensity typical of this flagship single-vineyard Barossa Shiraz.

Powerful and complex aromatics of blackberry, black cherry and ripe plum leap from the glass. These are layered with notes of liquorice, mocha, roasted meats and dark chocolate, alongside subtle hints of spice and sweet oak.

⚖️ Structure
Muscular yet refined with firm, well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. Extended maturation in French oak provides structure and complexity while maintaining harmony with the powerful fruit core.

Long, bold and persistent with lingering dark fruit, spice and mocha notes. The finish is structured and powerful, suggesting excellent cellaring potential.
