Tasting notes:
Perfumed with chocolate, raspberry and plum, light spicy notes framing the dark berried Barossa fruit. Melts on the palate with Turkish delight and, plush dark fruit and wonderfully fine tannin on a long fresh finish

95 Points, - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)
"Very deep, glowing colour—more purple than red at this tender age. The bouquet is pristinely fresh, clean and bright, exuding blueberry and blackberry fruit aromas laced with varied spices that include pepper, while the palate is full-bodied and nicely concentrated, without excessive heft or grip, and the oak has been subtly played. The tannins are supple and rounded, so the wine can already be approached, although it would be premature to drink it now."
94 Points, - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)
"100% Shiraz from Stone Well (80%) and Menglers Hill (20%). Average age of vines is 30 years, with 30% new French oak.
Fragrant with musky rosy perfume, creamy chocolate and vanilla, black and blue fruits. It’s succulent and supple, with fine stony, yet chewy tannin, an ample volume of purple fruit, and a long and controlled chocolaty finish, plus a little sage and grilled meat. Typical style for this wine, although perhaps a little deeper and darker than usual."
