(at Decanter's June 2017 issue Australian Value Shiraz Panel Tasting, 16 Feb 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2023
Pretty blueberry fruit is overlaid with reduction, a stern ashy quality, and a creamy lees character. This nose is confused. A somewhat hefty tannic grip rather overshadows the fruit, and there is a slightly cloying milk chocolate texture.
