Tasting note

From vineyards in Ebenezer parish of the Barossa Valley. A staple for so many. Has always been classy packaging too. This is soft, ripe, bold shiraz. It doesn't drown the sense but the volume is on loud. That old black magic of Barossa dark fruits, sweet spice, cedary-tobacco oak in the bouquet. Comfort in the slip-on feel of rich, forest berry sweetness to taste, a dusting of cinnamon-clove wood spice, decent length, though the finish does have a touch of a lemony-salty bite. That being said, it does Barossa well. Full flavoured, neat and tidy, easy to drink in the style. Drink: 2016-2022. Score - 90. (Mike Bennie, winefront.com.au, Nov. 14, 2016)
