Bottle Briefings

Score: 97pts
Intel: "There's a purity and vibrancy evident immediately on the nose from this exceptional shiraz from this wonderful season in the Barossa. It was fermented for three weeks with mostly whole berries and then matured for about eighteen months in largely older French oak barriques and just a tiny portion of new. Has a thoroughly delightful, highly fragrant aromatic of red fruits and a palate that almost moves into the medium-bodied zone before it comes crashing back with power and concentrated intensity, delivered with such wonderful, stylish elegance and poise. Thoroughly beautiful wine. Cellar 15 years."

Score: 96pts
Intel: "Deep crimson-purple with a vibrant core. The bouquet is expressive, showing blackberry, plum and dark cherry with lifted notes of spice, florals and subtle oak. The palate is full-bodied and finely balanced, delivering concentrated dark fruits supported by polished tannins and fresh acidity. Layers of spice, mocha and subtle oak build through the mid-palate, finishing long, smooth and elegantly structured. Its balance of richness and finesse is a defining feature. A beautifully composed Shiraz combining depth, elegance and precision. ★★★★★ Refined and modern. Drink: 2026 to 2038."

Score: 96pts
Intel: "This is impressively fruited and perfumed on the nose, with blackberry, violet, stylish oak, cinnamon, and dark cocoa aromas, leading to a concentrated palate with velvety texture and silky flow. Splendidly structured by layers of fine tannins, finishing with a great line and length. At its best: 2028 to 2040."
