Tasting note:
VC: From an historic single vineyard at the southern end of the Barossa, this deep purple Shiraz is bursting with ripe berry, lifted floral and coconut aromas. This is a rich and opulent wine with a chewy texture, ripe juicy mixed berry and vanilla flavors balanced by firm grainy tannins leading to a lengthy finish. It’s a “wow” wine that always impresses. Decant and serve, or cellar this big boy for up to 10 years. My note: A dark and delicious red with full-bodied notes of blackberry and black plum. Opulent texture with a velvety concentration of flavor and long finish. Food matches: rare roast beef au jus, rack of lamb.
