"Deeply coloured; very concentrated and deep, but the flavours are extremely earthy, verging on bitter, and the wine needs to soften. Screwcap.

"When Shiraz from the Great Southern region in WA is good, it’s very very good and this wine is all that and a bag of chips.
It offers a riot of smells that shift and mesmerise as you sniff the glass – rubbed fresh lavender, eucalypt, ground spices, black pepper, blackberry, dark cherry and star anise all jumbled together in a spicy fragrant heap. On the palate medium to full bodied yet powerful with a big spread of firm ripe tannin and layers of flavour – chocolate, pepper, black fruit and spice that run out onto a big tannic finish. It’s tight and fairly closed right now but careful (and very enjoyable) tasting over a couple of days allowed the wine to open up and fill out. It’s a wine of impact, exotic dark spiciness and considerable seductive power.
