Tasting Note

Deep, bright, bold red-purple colour; a powerful bouquet of spicy, chocolaty fruit and smoky coconutty oak, with a stony/metallic lift which may suggest a touch of volatile acidity but doesn't mar it at all. The wine is very rich and full, concentrated and plush-textured, with lovely fleshy mouth-feel allied with density and persistence. It really smacks of old-vine character: concentration and gravitas. 2023–2039

Review

"Single-vineyard wine produced from the original Poonawatta 1880 shiraz vineyard. Bright magenta/crimson with lifted aromas of dark plum, blueberry and boysenberry fruits. Hints of baking spices, cedar, sage, panforte, pan juices and crushed rocks. Quite finely poised and detailed on the palate with a swell of bright fruit, fine, schisty tannins, bright acidity and a long, graceful exit."
