One of the Barossa's long standing families has produced another classy, full-bodied, single-vineyard Shiraz. The nose whispers rather than shouts its aromas of cherry, currant, coffee, dark chocolate and baking spices. The palate is tightly wound, with grainy, woody tannins and tangy plum and cherry fruit. Finely structured for the long haul, this could be drunk now with a decant or cellared through 2035. Christina Pickard
