An impressive Barossa Shiraz, the colour is an inky black/maroon. The nose gives us notes of liquorice, chocolate, mocha, blackberries, beefstock, plums and graphite. Good focus; there is impressive length here and abundant tannins, tying the finish together – abundant, but fine and soft. The finish lingers beautifully and notes of choc/cherry emerge on the palate. Will provide pleasure for many years. Drink now–2040
