Tasting Notes:

Deep dark red colour, the bouquet of dark fruit and dried herbs and earth on the nose with hints of mocha and chocolate.The palate is full of soft dark fruit flavours when allowed to breathe, there is a natural earth character to the wine reminiscent of a Southern Rhone style blend. Blackberry, and blackcurrant in highly concentrated amounts, dark plum, liquorice all provide an opulent yet not overpowering feel. Spicy vanillin cedar, subtle earthy tobacco character and a touch of pepper. Its an old school lighter style of premium wine more in line with the 80's and early 90's style of winemaking before high alcohol wines became accepted with wonderful aged character even in its infancy.

Technical:

Sourced from two vineyards one in the warmer Seppeltsfield region and the other in the cooler Angaston region from vines with an average age of 90 years. Fermented in small open top stainless steel with some whole berries, these fermenters ensure we maintain strong fruit flavor from skins and whole berries. Hand plunged two to four times daily for two weeks then transferred into 1 and 2-year-old American and French oak barrels for the remainder of ferment then spent 24 months in the same barrels to allow full flavor development with minimal topping and Sulphur additions before being bottled without fining or filtration. Drinking well now but if you are patient enough to hold off this will develop beautifully in the cellar and build the aged character which has been a hallmark of this wine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gordo from Beautiful drop One of the smoothest wines I have purchased. Get Wines Direct made it possible for me to purchase a first class wine at an affordable price. Thank you to them.

Rated 4 out of 5 by DavidA from Excellent now but put it down Delicious, richly flavoured and a great example of Barossa Shiraz/Cab, drinking well now but will keep the rest for a year or two. Glad to have bought it.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Scott from Average I purchased 6 bottles at a reduced price. I would say the wine is somewhat average at $25 per bottle let alone at $125 rrp per bottle. I quite like some of their other cheaper wines was so shocked about this one

Rated 3 out of 5 by Phil from Not worth over $200 in bottle shop Average only but OK at the GWD price Not worth $200 a bottle

Rated 2 out of 5 by TonyP from Yet to be impressed I’ve only opened 1 bottle as yet but based on that I’d have to say it’s not worth what I paid for it. Time will tell.

Rated 1 out of 5 by TonyP from Not value My first attempt on this wine, and whilst I have only tried one bottle, I do not think it’s worth the money I paid

Rated 1 out of 5 by Scott from Light weight Wine is over priced and light weight for calibre. Even with time to breathe or pulling through aerator can’t get this wine to where it is pitched.
