Tasting Note A vibrant and complex wine showing lifted red fruits, leading to dark plums with hints of white pepper and French oak spice. The palate is juicy, medium bodied, elegant and flowing with dark fruits, spice and fine integrated tannins. A long, balanced finish that is seamlessly rounded out with the very best French oak. This Shiraz will provide great drinking now and for many years to come.

Review

"15% whole bunches and matured in French barriques (30% new). Scotchmans never miss a beat with wine, and this delivers the goods, and then some. Lifted with aromas of raspberries and dark cherries together with some freshly cracked black pepper and clove. A little star anise, too. Medium bodied, the palate is succulent, balanced and long. Delicious now and over the next five to seven years, if not longer. Nice one." Phillip Rich Halliday Wine Companion.
