Do not underestimate this wine. It will give all those names you once thought were the "best of Australia" a good run for their money. The good thing is, you will have spent about one-third of the price that you would have purchasing a Penfolds Grange or Henschke Hill of Grace! This wine is made from bush vines that are over 80-years old. This astonishing Barossa Shiraz presents rare silkiness and style. Its penetrative and unusually floral fragrance of pure cassis, redcurrents and rasberries is complemented by spicy mocha and chocolate oak and a background of bitumen, leather and jam. Laced with exotic spices and musk, the palate is as long as it is velvet-smooth, presenting pure, pristine sour-edged plum and cassis flavour, tighly knit with superbly fine tannins. This all-time favourite of mine has wonderful balance, poise and fineness, and is not for the faint-hearted.
