"Liquorice, chocolate, oyster shell, blackberry, a little mint, spice and nutty oak. Deep and concentrated, intense and layered dark fruit and black olive, firm ironstone tannin, such depth and heft, but not really heavy, as such. It’s saline and earthy, toasty sage-like oak in support, fresh blackberry acidity, and a umami finish of superb length and sticky ribs of tannin. So purple. Essence-like. A mighty expression of old vine McLaren Vale Shiraz." - Gary Walsh, Wine Front
"127yo vines foraging an entrenched root system across gravelly alluvials, sands, limestone and siltstone. The lowest yields on record for this regional icon, drenched, as always, in personality. Dark cherry, boysenberry, licorice straps and the usual melee but best, the gritty carapace of nourishing grape tannins, corralling and directing the flavours long. This is a wine of largesse and restraint. Old-school, but good school." - Ned Goodwin, Wine Companion
