Review
"Arguably the finest wine in this range, and it’s a super charismatic Barossan red... No compromises. It feels like epic Barossan red too – there’s a chunky, milk chocolate decadence to this wine which just goes on and on. It’s thickset, oak-enriched, bold and yet when it threatens to be big, there’s this grainy savoury textural width and then enough real tannins to make it really punch through. In some moments I thought the oak was too dominant, but it’s sexy enough that it all works out in the wash. Gold medal stuff.
Best drinking: now and for fifteen years (if you want)."
