"This stylish 2019 Shiraz, which is a blend of 55% Eden and 45% Barossa Shiraz, is beautifully layered with initial aromas of violets, sage and white pepper followed up by a rich vein of focussed licorice. Sturdly, and tightly bound with powdery tannins, a superb mix of bright fruit pastille and dark earthy flavours are underpinned by wood smoke.Immensely complex and energetic, held tight and compact through to a finish of extreme length, this is benchmark Barossa Shiraz.

"Long, slow maturation – over 22 months in 25% new French hogsheads and barriques with the balance in older French, Hungarian and American oak – helps to settle the heft of this stern old-vine fruit. Its strong body has muscular blackberry and myriad shades from the black fruit spectrum – black plums, cherries and dark chocolate – with high aromatic puffs of cloves and violets. Held in check by a tight line of ironstone tannins and stern oak, it will benefit from another five years in the cellar. (For release through La Place de Bordeaux in September 2024.)"
