| Wow, how different this 2019 is from the 2018! Both are great buys but the 2019 has more elegance and mouthfeel. An extremely tasty, elegant, crowd-pleasing Barossa Shiraz that must not be missed. Very deep intense purple colour. Intense, very faintly smoky, juicy, ripe, plummy, black cherry nose with some sandalwood-cedar notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, nicely structured, gently spicy, harmonious, intense, ripe, plummy, red/black cherry purée flavours with a lingering, cassis-tinged, bright, cedary finish. Matured for approximately 18 months in French and American oak. Has 14.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L20036 on the back label and L20254 on the lower part of the glass bottle. Screwcap closure.The best buy 2018 (***) with 90-points was released on September 4, 2021 at $19.95. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: Peppercorns and plums. This wine is awash with the flavours of them. It's a very good release, forward and fruit-driven, full of running, generous. It's almost as if the wine comes at you; it has that kind of momentum, that kind of energy. Add choc, chicory and earth notes and you get the picture. Put this on your buy list. Drink 2020-2025+.
