Superbly structured, not unusual from the Clare Valley but balanced out wonderfully with perfect fruit ripeness. Great Value!

Smoky and woody flavours had big fruit (dark fruits mostly) and ability to cellar. 2012 will improve significantly with time.

The big red I've been looking for the world of Riesling in the Clare today. Tobacco,spice, fennel, but still juicy.

Once again the Dark Side Of The Moon impresses, showing off Clare Valley shiraz in terms of quality, drinkability and value. Bold, ripe fruit with a smoothness and elegance even while still young. Looking forward to revisiting this one in a few years.

Brooding nose and inky colour followed by concentrated ripe black fruit that wraps itself around the tongue. Chewy texture and great length, finishing with grippy tannins and a smile on my face.
