A silver award winner at the
2007 International Wine Challenge Awards. This flagship wine made from the finest selection of Shiraz from each vintage
is an opaque purple colour with dark purple hues. It shows superb aromas of a
complex mix of violets, chocolate and cigar box lift. The palate is an explosion
of flavour. Lashings of cassis, briary fruit flavours and spiced plum followed
by back palate flavours of spice, liquorice and white pepper. Fine grained, soft
tannins and perfect balance followed by a very long lingering finish with hints
of blackberry and plum. (Heartland)
"Sweet, warm, luscious and lovely. Lots of big, syrupy, blueberried, curranty
fruit, ably matched to a swoon of soft, creamy, smoky oak. It finishes gravelly
and tannic, a fact that adds interest, but does not detract from the smoothness
of the show....The fruit and oak are beautiful. Drink: 2007-2012. 90 points. "
