Another Barossa Valley icon from a very good vintage in the Valley. Lush plum cake style with spicy oak notes finishing with trademark silky tannins - a little warm from the 14.5% alcohol. Hard to resist - nothing to dislike.

Concentrated and bright. Deep and long. Amazing Barossa stalwart. Can understand why it's a benchmark.

Pretty complex, hints of underripe characters, not oaky, loads of fruit.

An incredible Red to blow off anyone's socks. Hard to find, however very easy to drink!
