Description

Just the 2nd vintage of this new wine represents an evolution in wine making. A combination of fruit from Warner Vineyard and Estate plantings, matured in new and older small French oak, large 1600 litre French oak casks and long maceration on skins (10 months) in Spanish terracotta amphorae. This brings much more complexity and more depth and tannin from the long maceration. "A wine that unfurls gloriously in slow motion – what a lovely shiraz ride. Aromatic aromas hold your attention long and unwaveringly: dark plum, blackberry, wild bramble, raspberry leaf, aniseed, allspice, pepper, sage. Still a youngster with layer upon layer yet to fully explore. Sapid fine tannins drive the long palate with plenty of herb, spice and flecks of savouriness filling out the breadth of concentrated fruit flavour and beautifully woven oak. Discipline will be needed to cellar it for as long as it deserves. Drink 2026 -2036+"  97/100 James Halliday
