Deep Ruby. Aromas of raspberry, loam and mineral. A Shiraz/Mataro blend using old vine fruit. Supple fine tannins still with a 5+ year future. Well made.

Floral, savoury spice and plum. Very enticing. Pallet is excellent, rich fruit, white pepper, dusty cedar and an excellent texture. Good oak restraint. ~80/20 Shiraz/Mataro.

Dec 26th, 2020Fully mature. No tannins to speak but still good acidity. Typical extracted Aussie style with black fruits up front. Not overly complex.

Cocoa, coffee, dark chocolate, tobacco, prunes and plums. Beautiful deep purple color, medium + complexity, delicious. Powerful, savage, brooding, like a hungry bear. If you like the northern Rhône, I highly recommend this pour because this '02 omitted the Grenache. In Portland with the Bachmans.
