"Deep crimson. Intense blackberry roasted chestnut paneforte aromas with dark chocolate notes. Richly flavoured and supple with fresh dense blackberry mulberry fruits, fine plentiful chalky tannins, lovely mid-palate volume and underlying roasted chestnut oak/ paneforte/ fig complexity. Finishes chocolatey firm. A classic Barossa Shiraz with rich fruit, oak and acidity neatly balanced. 14.5% alc Drink now – 2035."

"96.2/3.8% shiraz/cabernet sauvignon, from 35+yo vines. Matured 20 months in 18% new 14/4% French/American oak, the balance seasoned French oak barrels. The hierarchy of shiraz is well established at Grant Burge, and ascending the tree delivers more density of colour, more depth of black fruits and more impacting oak presence. Quintessential Barossa, Filsell unites fruit power with licorice, milk and dark chocolate oak and inimitable nuances of Barossa mettwurst. Medium-grained tannin confidence lays out a long finish that will appreciate medium-term cellaring to integrate."

92 Points - Stuart Knox The Real Review

"Deep black and blue core that coats the glass, purple and youthful in the rim. Oak influence dominates the nose, coconut, dark chocolate and raspberry aromas. Mouthfilling and rich with very concentrated but poised black fruits finding every nook and cranny of the palate. That velvet sensation sits deep and long into the finish but could do with a little more focussing structural elements"
