Tasting Notes:

Intense red, carmine and medium limpidity. Very good intensity, mostly showing dark fruits(cassis liqueur, plum, black olive), followed by floral, (iris, violet), spicy (cinnamon, pepper) notes. after aeration the slight reductive character disappears to leave space to more fruit (apricot, fresh almond), some animal nuances and more spice. The intensity is as high as the diversity of aromas.

Technical:

This elegant Shiraz is typical of the terroir-driven wines made by this producer. Matured in French oak barriques for 18 months.

Accolades & Awards:

93 Points Jeremy Oliver, Wine Annual

An earthy, rustic shiraz whose dusty, spicy and meaty bouquet of small red and black berries, dark plums and gentle oak revels subtle nuances of graphite and mineral plus a faint herbal note. Full to medium-bodied it’s slow to emerge from the glass, unfolding spicy layers of blackberries, mulberries, dark plums and dark chocolate framed by firm, powdery tannins. It finishes long and earthy, a vivacious core of flavour and a soft acidity.

91 Points James Halliday Wine Companion

Deep purple-red; has much in common with the Rams Horn Block; while still built around savoury black fruits, is a little more fleshy.

Rated 4 out of 5 by JDM74 from Excellent syrah, ready to drink now Great example of the Bendigo/Harcourt/Sutton Grange area syrah. Dry, smooth and plenty of flavour. Best not to wait too long to drink though.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Happy Quaffer from Undrinkable Poured 2 glasses for my wife & I; took a sip then poured it down the sink & returned the case. Didn't have the common "corked" taste/smell, but the cork was easier to remove than usual. Maybe not stored properly.
