The reference to ‘66’ in the name here is a nod to the address of the winery, 66 Seppeltsfield Road. Every year, there is a small batch of Shiraz from one of their vineyards which really steps up and astounds. It becomes this wine. The colour here is a deep, dark, near black/purple. The nose just screams all class, and there are notes of chocolate, aniseed, smoked meats, blackcurrants, spices, violets, plums and a little Christmas cake. The texture is seductive, supple and very much part of an impressively constructed wine while the oak is handled superbly. There is great length through to silky tannins, bright acidity and near perfect balance. A stunner which will drink beautifully for the next fifteen to twenty years.
