"Love the reference on the back label to the “brooding dark flavours” in this wine. So apt. It’s a picture of black fruit and prolonged intensity, a rich, chewy, densely textured wine. Vintage 2014 was a top year and it shows. Deep purple colour and a developed nose of dark berries, dark chocolate and high spice with dusty, earth and cedary oak. A complex group of ripe flavours across the palate, matched with generous oak and taut tannins.  Wouldn’t guess it was six years of age so I’m betting that it still has a long road ahead of it."

"Surprise package from the New Heroes range, being what many may call an ‘older wine’. Barossa bold cab. Pudgy, soft cabernet, stacked with dried and fresh, ripe fruit flavours, choc-berry, choc-plum, salty characters, dried herbs, mocha and caramel. Rolls with oafish hugeness through the palate, some dried out characters emerging but blended into roll of powdery, firm tannin. A feast! Huge wine, done well for those seeking such. Drink soon."

"If you didn’t already know it the Barossa can make exceptional cabernet. So good in fact that Max Schubert made the odd Penfolds Grange Cabernet so the style has plenty of pedigree and this wine shows it.  There is a good mix of youthful mulberry fruit, aged cedar and baked earth aromas with spicy oak. The palate continues on the same line showing both youthful and some subtle aged characters – blackcurrant, graphite and earth all sitting pretty. It is in a good spot right now with the tannins softened which help to draw out a lingering finish. Pair this wine with Middle Eastern Lamb."
