An excellent Mudgee Shiraz that is destined for even greater things given more time in the bottle.
It's long and balanced and a damn fine drink. It whisks you away - you're captivated by its depth and drive yet its savoury beauty captivates and keeps your interest levels heightened.
Meaty and dense early highlighted by pan juices, burnt ends and beef stock, swirl the glass and it continues to further express itself. Dark chocolate and Dutch cocoa, sauteed mushrooms, a flash of cola and sarsparilla, even a bit of boot polish - the layers keep unfurling. Give me more! It softens to reveal dark chocolate dipped dark cherries and a suggestion of licorice. The length, the depth, the pleasure... Bravo!
