In Hobart for Christmas Eve. The familiar nose of an old high quality Australian Shiraz - the Descendant has a splash of Viognier and is “descended “ from Run Rig. Aromas of antique shop chest of drawers - old dried plum, dates and chocolate. Tannins are resolved and oak is integrated. after nearly 20 years. From the cool 2002 vintage in South Australia where the hang time was longer producing superb quality fruit. Great to get a wine of this quality and age from a restaurant wine list.

En Mag. Tar, concentrated purple fruits, rich soil, iron and game meats. Quintessential Barossa. My first Descendant, I’d rank it up with Run Rig and Factor. A long decant gave this legs. Thanks stallion @Joe Lucca
