96 POINTS GOLD - Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion
Made from a mere 400 vines, planted in 1881. It's a hearty, deep-set, seductive wine with freshness kept paramount. It slinks along the tongue in satiny fashion, runs with the flavours of redcurrant, blackberry, coal and caramel, and trails impressively out through an extended finish. Barossa shiraz in all its glory. Straps of flavour-drenched tannin will help ensure a very long future. (published 21st June, 2021)
