Palate: There is a dollop of Grenache usually included in this Shiraz by the team, and the use of oak seems ever-so-marginally more apparent in this wine than others in the range. For a fine vintage like 2022, this really works well. The colour is like a bruised plum/dark cherry hue. The nose is full of deep black fruit notes, chocolate, vanilla, blackcurrants, soy, smoked meats, coffee beans, cloves and a hint of axle grease. Rich, ripe and bold, this is big (in flavour terms) and generous. Good intensity throughout with very good length, there are firm tannins. A seamless style, it will drink beautifully for at least a decade.
92 pts - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)Plenty of value here! Pure and fruit rich with gobs of ripe blackberry, Doris plum and boysenberry fruits. Hints of baking spice, brandied fruits, fig, licorice, dark chocolate, blossom and earth. Fruit depth and intensity to burn with fine, sandy tannin grip and a crème de cassis-like flow on the finish.
