Nose of; far chocolate, concentrated blackberries, dark cherries, blueberries, plum, black plum, dry roses and wild fresh flowers. Fruits on the palate are the same as the nose. They are richly fully concentrated, round & ripe, silky tannins, black licorice, dry dark florals & nice acidity. The texture, length, balance are fantastic. As close to Napa Cabernet as you'll get while still representing Barossa.

Still amazingly youthful. I truly believe Barossa cabernet is one of the world's great wine values.

Jammy black fruit with big, velvety tannins. This is developing a savory nuance which gives it character.
