Supremely balanced and poised Barossa Shiraz from this exceptional year. Comes off low yielding vines and then handled with kid gloves through the winery. Dark plum and subtle stewed fruit characters on the nose with a lift of roasted coffee grinds. The palate is deeply concentrated and powerful yet delivers with admirable poise and refinement. Dark chocolate and blackberry flavours are carried through to the very long finish.
