A deep, well integrated old school Barossa Shiraz. An absolute delight to be shared.

Super ripe and dense, but oak was in check and was hinting at some lovely bacon fat and graphite characters

Always great to taste single vineyard. Drinking well but still had a long life. Good balance, fruit but also showing developing characteristics. Classics Barossa.

Beautiful complex nose of dark berries,currants and licorice. On the palate an elegant well-balanced mixture of fruit and spice. For me Rockford and Penfolds Grange have been the most consistent producer of long lived Australian shiraz.

Incredible shiraz. Rich port-like flavours that make this a very special wine. Looking forward to further development.
