Cabernet (86%) takes the lead here, driving the wine’s line, length and structure, while shiraz (14%) adds plushness, depth and that unmistakable Barossa swagger. The nose centres around lifted blackcurrant, blackberry and mulberry, with hints of liquorice, black olive, bay leaf and subtle florals. On the palate, it’s sleek, rich and complex - layers of ripe black fruit, churned earth, spice and cedary French oak propped up by silky, long-limbed tannins. The critics are in rare agreement. Halliday describes it as “seamless… cracking stuff.” Tony Love talks of “elite line and length” with “milk choc, plum and blackberry flavours to finish.” This is a wine built for big occasions - and for decades in the cellar. Only 28 barrels made. This is as rare as it is remarkable.
