Had a different wine in mind yet pulled this one. Just a baby but o' so good! Black jam in the glass. Nose of cold smoked meat, minerals and spice. Light, yet full bodied mouthfeel leads to a sip that has bright red fruits, minerals and spice. That same spice, Chinese Five Spice rolls on the palate with smoke for a long finish that goes on... — 9 years ago

A very delicate (there’s a word I never thought I’d use to describe a Barossa Shiraz) wine, almost tasting like a shiraz pinot blend, rather than the shiraz cabernet it is.

I rarely comment on the bouquet of wines, but this warrants an exception. The nose is something to behold, deeply aromatic, a rich harmony of berry, vanillin oak, cedar and the merest hint of aniseed. The wine itself is something of a chameleon. The initial attack on the palate promises sweet berry fruits, but that promise is quickly overwhelmed by a raft of surprisingly complex savoury flavours, replete with delicate spice, bitter mocha, sweet tobacco and gamey meaty notes, that seem to linger forever. The tannins are ultra-fine and barely perceptible. The balance close to perfection.

This is the sort of wine where you want to savour every mouthful, and feel a real sense of loss at the ultimate but inevitable conclusion. A truly lovely and deeply satisfying wine. Everything I love in a wine and then some.

Thank you Wozza! — 10 years ago

Showing very well. Attractive cedar and dark fruit on uncorking, opened up after 1-2 hours. Recorked anaerobically overnight, next day tannins fairly strong, needed air. This 16-yo cru classé from a big year is just entering maturity. It lives up to its name, "to chase away the blues." — 9 years ago
