The 2016 Shiraz displays complex aromas of mulberries, dark plums and liquorice with hints of coffee, spice and dark chocolate. On the palate the dense velvety texture is complemented by cinnamon spice and mocha notes resulting from 18 months maturation in barrels.
Fruit and regional identity. Margaret River. The wines are a good example of typical Margaret River characters. More concentration and complexity through extended maturation and barrel fermentation.
Highly Rated James Halliday Wine Companion
Bolshie by regional standards, this is bright crimson to vermilion. Powerful. Smoked meat and barbecues galore. Purple to black fruits in there and a big smear of licorice and pepper grind. A solid wine.
