Description This is an iconic Shiraz "resolutely old school, with ample appeal for those chasing full-fruited Shiraz..." (Halliday), but not just a 'Bigger-is-better" proposition. Ray Jordan gives it 95pts and writes: “Bright fruit characters are evident immediately from the first engagement. On the nose, savoury spicy plum and dried herb and sage combination burst open. And then a palate that is deeply intense and opulently smooth starts to reveal its best qualities. Has a chalky dusty thread with a little crushed rock influence. It’s quite dry on the finish after the richness of the middle palate.” (Ray Jordan Winepilot) “…full-bodied, concentrated… line and length …A long-term proposition” (Huon Hooke, The Real Review) “...dark brambly fruits, dried olive, plum and an earthy, ferrous mineral overlay…” (Marcus Ellis, The Halliday Wine Companion).
