From Gilbert’s first planting of Shiraz in 1987. A bramble of red fruits, rhubarb and persimmon meets with Picholine olive brine, some mocha and choc caramels, old spice and some walnut bitterness. Acidity carries well with supple tannins and lasting flavours of espresso. A wine that is showing fruit and savoury old school spice with its few years of bottle age, Drink now with sliced flank steak tossed in a wok.
