This is one of Australia’s most famous Shiraz. It comes off extremely low-yielding 55-year-old Hunter Valley vines and consistently produces wines of extraordinary depth, power but ultimately wonderful refinement. The colour is a deep red with lifted crimson purple hues, the first hint of its brightness and energy. On the nose, you capture the earthy plummy red fruits of the Hunter, and then on the palate, it all starts to reveal itself. Somehow it captures all the complexities of the red fruits, the chalky tannins, the finely applied oak and that lift of subtle earthy spiciness. There’s a brilliance and brightness here with the red fruits starting to dominate as it extends through to its extraordinarily long finish. These are wines with tremendous cellaring potential. This is one of the best I’ve seen at such an early stage in its development. A cracking wine worth every cent.
