"94 POINTS. Crimson-purple; the decision to pick in mid-February paid big dividends with this shiraz, ditto the 21 months in French oak hogsheads, mainly seasoned; it has juicy plum and black cherry fruit, and none of the toughness that marred many '07s." - James Halliday.
Colour: Bright garnet rim with deep ruby hue.
Palate: Bright, spiced red and black fruits, anise notes supported by smooth, slippery tannins, finishing luscious and long.
