Tasted by:
(at Decanter's June 2017 issue Australian Value Shiraz Panel Tasting, 16 Feb 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2022
For a youngster the nose seems a little tired. The fruit is unnecessarily over-extracted, sending powerful dark fruits to the front. The palate is quite nicely textured but has a nasty burnt vegetable flavour. This needs time to evolve, but delivers a great Barossa style.
