A monster Shiraz that typifies Australian drinking. This is the style of vino that made the world take notice of this ripper region. This Barossa shiraz speaks of the powerful Barossa terroir and the master crafter who made it (can you say, ex-head winemaker at Yalumba?) There’s no surprises here with the flavour profile; an expression of blackberry, plum, chocolate, spices and cedar from the use of 30% new French oak. After four years cellaring time, it’s drinking beautifully now, but has another decade of prime left in it for those patient types.
