"This is a classy, refined wine. Balanced, intense and complex, the palate is tight and spicy with perfect oak integration. One to enjoy with barbequed meats or hard cheeses." James Halliday - 92 out of 100

"The top wine (of 217 entries) and trophy winner at the 2002 Visy Board Great Australian Shiraz Challenge... Great colour, then dark berry, licorice, leather and spice aromas flow into a rich, complex palate, with fruit, oak and tannins in harmonious abundance."

Rich old Barossa Shiraz, hand selected, with mulberry, tobacco, leather and light oak overtones. A big wine with long flavours and rewarding characters. Full of plummy fruit balanced by abundant soft tannins. Matured in a combination of French and American oak.

James Halliday Rating 95 Points.  This incredible shiraz was released at a price of $30 back in 2004 when the vintage was released.  Halliday felt this would be drinking well until 2015 and we certainly feel it can improve little from here, it is really drinking well now, this is a very fine Shiraz.
