This multi-varietal blend is based largely on Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, with a small amount of Cabernet Franc from the Barossa. It is loaded with ripe red and black fruits, delivering impressive concentration and flavour. Despite the challenges of the vintage, the wine displays remarkable vibrancy and purity. Lively, fleshy fruit is held firmly in place by fine tannins and fine-grained oak, of which only 10% was new. It drinks beautifully now thanks to its balance and harmony, yet it clearly possesses the structure and depth to reward more than two decades in the cellar.

His love of wine is as strong as his love of the blues and tasting the thousands of wines that cross his bench each year allows him to indulge in both.
