Tasting Note

This wine brings together two of the great Shiraz regions of Australia. The Clare Valley component (70%) is all about power, structure and fragrantly perfumed fruit. The McLaren Vale portion (30%) is rich, warm and chocolatey with a wonderfully sumptuous mouthfeel.

These two components combine to produce a very complex wine displaying opulent aromas of mocha, plums, anise and spice.

The palate is full bore. Deep, dark flavours of blackberries, plums, licorice and coffee are intertwined with some seriously good new and older French oak.

This wine is decadently drinkable now, but 5-7 years in the cellar will really let it show its straps.
