”Moppa-grown shiraz from 2 plots planted circa 1940 and 2011, 100% whole berries, 7 days on skins and aged in French oak (35% new) for 16 months. Intense purple red in the glass with abundant floral-flecked dark plum and black fruits, with hints of licorice, brown spices, earth, coal dust, pressed flowers and dark chocolate. Wonderful fruit density, balance and flow, with tight tannin support, bright acidity and a finish that trails off nicely with memories of cassis, kirsch and spice.”
