A powerful nose offering up mineral notes through fresh violets with the palate drench d in black fruit flavours. A great Southern Australian wine demonstrating shiraz can be excellent.

Beautiful mouth feel; figgy and earthy. Shorter finish than expected, but really nice.

Needed 4 hours. Started bottle first night on 8/18 at Blackberry Farm and it was good but tannins not well integrated. Finished on 8/19 and very elegant. If the bottle had been opened 2-4 hours before enjoying on night 1, this would be extraordinary.
