The big daddy of the reds, this is from a 1.8ha block planted in 1999, The potential very ripe flavours and size has been reigned in a little with the "freshining" of 20% whole-bunch stemmines and the ageing in "super-cool" (and expensive) large Schneckenleitne Austrian barrels. This so coiled and dense, yet balanced and elegant that it's incredible, and this dichotomy comes from the tiny yield about 1 tonne per hectare! Randall.
“Quite a ferrous, inky number, broad shoulders but pristine in a way, definition, but a total lushness and submission to McLaren Vale’s shiraz asset and inherent personality. Chewy tannins in a slosh of choc-berry, liquorice, not-quite young portiness, kirsch and a blueberry fruitiness. Silky, also. Liqueur like finish, warm-ish, soft, slick. It’s an honest wine with plenty of smooth moves and warmth. Big puff of ripe fruit, kirsch and sweet earth in the bouquet with a whiff of warm bitumen. Does the trick, and well.” 94pts – Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
