Score 93/100 · Josh Raynolds, Jul 2013

Glass-staining purple. Explosive, exotically perfumed aromas of black and blue fruit preserves, Indian spices, vanilla and cola, with a smoky overtone. Broad and seamless in texture, offering sweet boysenberry and cherry-vanilla flavors and a jolt of cracked pepper for added urgency. Rich yet lively, with excellent finishing focus, clarity and persistence.

"Inky purple-crimson; as the colour promises, a wine saturated with every manner of black fruits and bitter chocolate; despite this, it has an open-weave texture keeping it light on its feet, and allowing a farewell of juicy fruit finding its way through the high quality oak and fine tannins. An exceptional Shiraz." Jul 2013 www.winecompanion.com.au Drink by 2050
