Ripe and rich, but not over the top, a plush mouthful of cherry, blackberry, plum and licorice flavors, picking up coffee and cream notes as the finish sails on and on. Tannins are nicely integrated, but they can use cellaring to soften. Best from 2008 through 2019. 1,000 cases made, 650 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Barossa / Barossa Valley Select to Add

(includes 2% viognier) Deep ruby. Densely concentrated and sweet on the nose, with powerful aromas of red and dark berries, licorice, mocha, violet, rose, magnolia and minerals. Explosively rich on the palate, with cassis and blackberry flavors showing a liqueur-like aspect but also impressive energy and purity. Notes of sexy oak spice emerge on the finish, along with a hint of vanilla. Strikingly long, sexy wine, with silky tannins and wonderful sweetness.
