"This wine is matured for a minimum of 20 months in new American oak. Inky black colour - almost opaque. The nose is filled with smoky cherry and pepper aromas with a hint of sweet and sour black cherry fruit. On the palate there are opulent flavours of rich ripe black cherry fruit, almond and cherry oak. Good complexity, excellent length and concentration with a velvet smooth tannin structure. A powerful wine. Cellar up to 15 years. 14.5% Alcohol Volume."

"One of the best Barossa wines from this spectacularly hot vintage, with a dusty perfume of musky and exotically spiced cinnamon, cloves and white pepper over sweet cassis, blackberries and redcurrants. Fine-grained American oak is tightly honed and integrated. Long, vibrant and slightly minty, the palate offers a bright and refreshing expression of slightly jammy sweet berry fruits neatly wound around fine, bony tannins. Very impressive.
