This is the relatively new label of Stephen Pannell, a well-respected name in Aussie wine. Made from the fruit of self-owned vineyards on staggeringly old soils, the wine takes a little time in glass to open up. Once it does, it reveals a deep well of flavor, from plump plum and blackberry to forest floor, mocha, violets, savory spice and porcini mushroom powder. It's full figured, with a plush, silky mouthfeel and solid framework of taut, textural tannins. The lifted perfume and structure makes it a less dense bottling than some of its regional counterparts. Drink now–2030.
