Blackened crimson. Perfumed roast meats and nuances of spice overlay the otherwise liquorice and black currant dominated expression. Its elegant yet full of vibrancy and its youthful vigour entertains the viewer.A long and aromatically scented structure progressively delivers the liquorice and spiced fruit in a persistent fashion. Velvety tannin and balanced acidity echoâs both potential and proposition. Smoothed extract and overall polish ensures immediate satisfaction.

"A rich, typically ripe Australian shiraz whose concentrated, confiture-like bouquet of cassis, blackberries, raspberries and blood plums has a meaty background of chocolatey oak, musky spice and a hint of raisin. It’s luscious and opulently flavoured, powerfully steeped in briary cassis, mulberry, blackberry and dark plum flavours, tightly knit with oak and reveals some leathery development. It finishes savoury, with a hint of licorice, dark olive and roasting pan."

"Deep garnet/purple, the 2012 Syrah Bakers Gully reveals attractive cassis, blackberries, black cherries, earth, aged beef and game notes with cloves and tobacco hints. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, the palate is packed with flavor and framed by firm, fine tannins through the long and meaty finish."

"Excellent depth of colour. Mid- to full-bodied with tar, blackberry, dried herb and sweet redcurrant flavours. Choc-coffee notes have melted entirely into the fruit. Succulent. No problems drinking this now."

This is Roman Bratasuik's entry level Shiraz intended for early drinking sourced from younger dry grown vines. Maturation takes place in French oak (85% new) for a period of 18 months.
