Oh, this is flying. Condor style. Barely making an effort and making maximum ground. It's graceful and considered. Boom!
Named The Peake after Edward John Peake who established the vineyard and orchard in Clarendon around 1850. The flagship wine of the Hickinbotham brand, in short, it's the best barrels of Brooks Road Shiraz and Trueman Cabernet (56/44).
What a marriage this is. Dark chocolate, vanilla, dried herbs and cedar early. It possesses a wonderful presence, drive and powdery tannins. Just wow. Long and moreish it keeps throwing up pleasure in the form of dark cherries, black plums, even some Cherry Ripe appeal. Glorious, flirtatious, get me in.
Drink to ten years+
