You're probably already exhausted from reading through all the awards this wine has received so we'll try to be as brief as possible... This one's a big deal. Right up there with the best wines in Australia. Sometimes a reviewer hits the nail on the head so well that this humble copywriter has no option but to take the easy route and throw in a quote... "No Ph.D needed here, gets straight down to business: ripe, sweet and seductive in black berries, warmed spices, liquorice wedded to cedary vanillin oak" - Jeni Port, Wine Pilot. This isn't a wine that needs explaining really, this is a wine that needs drinking. Whether it's now or in 15 years, don't deprive yourself of the experience that this gorgeous drop brings to all who try it.

Complex, dark fruited, rich and velvety. A genuine collectors item, this small-batch, old-vine shiraz has been very busy on the wine-show circuit but it's what's behind the gold medals that really gets us excited... The concentration of fruit is apparent from the moment your nose gets near the glass. Blackberries, pepper, star anise and raspberries are to be expected from McLaren Vale but the lifted nature of the aromatics is something only seen in the very top-shelf wines of the region. The palate can only really be described as an explosion of liquorice, dark plums and black cherries wrapped around a backbone of new and seasoned French oak. This will easily live in the cellar for another 10 years, 15 if you've got a reeeeeallly good cellar. But that's the beauty of 6 packs, 3 for now, 3 for 2035, easy!
