Saturated ruby. Deeply pitched black and blue fruit, vanilla, roasted coffee and exotic spice aromas pick up a floral nuance with air. Broad and weighty in the mouth, offering liqueur-like dark berry, cherry-vanilla and fruitcake flavors that show surprising energy for their heft. Finishes impressively long and smoky with rounded tannins adding subtle grip. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, December 2021)

50+ year old vines.
Tasted against the Canis Major IIPA.
The beer won again! The hop influence paired well with Tandoori Chicken on saffron rice.
At last nights Beer vs Wine Degustation at Barossa Brewing in Tanunda featuring Chateau Tanunda.

Blackberry, cassis, black cherry and hints of prune and oak. Great structure and soft tannins.

Beefy Shiraz - with a slight pepper 🫑 taste on the finish. Lots of tannins - with a medium finish.

I enjoyed the 2010 last night at Martin Rivard's Delectable get together! Wow spectacular depth with succulent Black fruit, plum soft white pepper and Asian spice that carries through the palate.

Decanted 90 mins. Raspberry, dark cherry, tannins are complex but refined. Silk on the palate
