Sun roasted, cocoa-laden clay on the nose with white flowers. Rich and round, fully integrated and at its apex. Wonderful secondary notes of Asian spice, lavender and charred meat. Outstanding.

The most inappropriately named wine: elegant, pretty; full of character- yet you just yearn to drink it.

Big black & blue fruit, soft pepper, expresso roast, dried dark florals and spice that gains intensity in the king finish.

Not the strongest vintage of these wine. This is normally my benchmark wine for Barossa.

I used to like this wine. These days I find it bitter and arrogant!

The last of my bogans .. And this bottle tasted the best. A bit pricey for what they deliver, so not sure when I'll be back.
