Clare Valley, A$60
“This is a seriously old-vine shiraz that’s generous and characterful but not a blockbuster. While concentrated, it doesn’t labour the point. Dried herbs over blackberry and savoury oak-matured aromas; great density and subtle power. Cellaring: 15 years.”

“The colour is a bright light-medium yellow, and the bouquet whispers of lemon, salad greens and well-handled oak. It’s concentrated in the mouth, powerful and slightly grippy, with a chalky phenolic structure. Good flavour and character. A wine to drink or keep. Cellaring: 8 years.”
