Tasting Notes

  • Colour

    Very attractive crimson, black colour. Dense

  • Aroma

    Very lifted and perfumed, spicy, almost nutty fruit/ oak complexity. A touch of that peaty character which is so typical of the old vines in Block 9.

  • Palate

    Soft, rich, flavoursome palate with lovely spice and pepper complexity lingering. Not sweet, more savoury and elegant in style. A great follow on from the 2010 Reserve Shiraz.

Reviews and Awards

  • James Halliday Review

    2016 vintage: 96 pts
    From Block 9 planted in the ‘60s, hand-picked, crushed and destemmed, 7 days on skins, matured for 24 months in new and second-use French hogsheads, then a barrel selection. It has power and drive from the savoury blackberry and blood plum fruit, dark chocolate threaded through the full-bodied palate, balance the final word.
