Aged for 36 months in 50% new French oak - there's no denying it, this is a big boy. That said, we're talking about Sorby Adams here, there's more to this wine than super-premium oak treatment. There's an opulence and generosity to this wine that takes it to the next level and would see this one live for 15+ years in the cellar - easy. This is pure Barossa power, an unapologetically bold shiraz from the northern grounds of the region, where the fruit grows darker, richer, and more intense. It opens with a heady mix of ripe black fruits, spiced plum and dark chocolate. As the wine opens up, it's all about concentration: blackcurrant, cocoa and vanilla stacked on top of exotic spice and firm, muscular tannins.
