Blackcurrant, plum and fresh rolling tobacco at first. Quite fresh still.

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.

An Australian blend of shiraz, mataro and Grenache, powerful and sunny. Deep purple almost black, an explosive nose of black cherries, cloves, sweet spices, plum marmalade, full body, thick rich and jammy, with smooth tannins and light acidity, long powerful finish. A true fruit forward wine, with a touch of old world. My score 89, drink to 2018

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.

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