Thrilling notes of black raspberries, crème de cassis, toasted spice, mint, and espresso... With massive concentration, it still glides across the palate with no sensation of heaviness or rusticity, building, perfectly ripe tannins, and incredible opulence and intensity...a monumental Barossa Shiraz that flirts with perfection.

Aromas of redder fruit with raspberries and red plums, as well as black tea and a smoky, coal-dust edge. Boysenberries, too. This is complex. The palate has commanding length and depth with succulent, powerful yet fine and compressed tannins at its core. Both the length and balance are impressive. A great RWT!
...aromas of liquorice, spice and mocha, and concentrated black fruits on the rich, sumptuously opulent palate. It's all underpinned by French oak polish along with a freshness and fine-boned structure...
The oaky undertones are a really good complement to the deep dark and blue fruits and chocolate aromatics that mingle beautifully in the glass. The texture of thew wine is sinfully good as the wine glides through the mid-palate. Black tea, blueberry compote, blackberry cobbler, cigar ash and boysenberry cordial flavors all delight the senses.
Sexy, high-pitched aromas of blueberry, smoky Indian spices, violet pastille and vanilla, with a vibrant mineral overtone adding urgency. Sweet, incisive and energetic on the palate, offering densely packed black and blue fruit, spicecake and cola flavors that gain weight with air. Hangs on with excellent tenacity on the finely detailed finish, leaving juicy, dark berry and floral notes behind.
Striking, with polished, fine-grained tannins that provide a velvety background for a complex array of flavors. Sandalwood, chai tea, gingerbread and white pepper notes mingle with supple raspberry, black cherry coulis, spiced plum and red licorice flavors, with a hint of white truffle. Concentrated and harmonious. The finish goes on and on.
...flashy and full-bodied...ripe, opulent fruit notes—blackberry, currant and plum—ride along aromas of coffee and cumin...fruit is plush and tangy...tannins are fine-grained and well-structured...
Very savoury and fun on the nose. Balsam. Round and gorgeous already. Long and neat and pencil lead and something a bit Piemontese about it. Very appealing and interesting. Long.
