Made from the top 1% of Gemtree's shiraz production. Three years in French oak. No fining or filtration. All the best treatment, as the winery sees it, and then thrown to the cork wolves. It's a monumental wine in all respects, thick with fruit and oak, the power of blueberry and blackberry flavour afforded tremendous intensity. Peppermint notes add lift, sawdusty oak adds spunk, and rivers of tannin set the wine on a firm course. Length is as confident as everything else about the wine. Indeed the momentum of quality here is quite something.
