Tasting Notes – A Luxurious and Profound Expression of Barossa Shiraz

Appearance

A dark aubergine core with a vibrant deep purple rim promises richness and depth.

Aromatics

The bouquet is incredibly detailed and seductive. Expect satsuma plum, blackcurrant, and dark cherry laced with espresso, cocoa, and a floral hint of Turkish delight. Intriguing layers of star anise, Earl Grey tea, and black olive evolve into more subtle notes of vanilla pod, sandalwood, and cardamom.

Palate

The palate is both concentrated and structured, with muscular tannins framing a core of plush, ripe fruit. This is a full-bodied red wine that remains refined and poised, with layers that unfold slowly over the course of a glass—or a decade.
