SEALED UNDER SCREWCAP
Son of a gun – much like the 2004. Excellent quality. Musk-shot plums. Ripe tannin. Vanillin whispers – but only whispers. Really super wine. NR. Campbell Mattinson
A ripe, slightly spirity but typically generous Barossa shiraz, this meaty and slightly reductive young red has a liqueur-like aroma of black and red berries, plums and dried herbs overlying sweet cedar/chocolate/vanilla oak. Plush and juicy, it’s soft, supple and approachable, with a moderately rich palate of concentrated fruit and creamy oak framed by fine, loose-weave tannins.
