More stocks coming soon.... "94 Points. Mocha and fruitcake bouquet; quite toasty on the palate, with chewy, tarry fruit and a seriously firm and dry finish; certainly large in scale. Screwcap. 15% alc. Drink 2025 Date Tasted Feb 09" - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2010 Edition. The oak’s a bit on the punchy side to start with, but this breathes up nicely to liquorice, chocolate and dark plummy fruits.The palate’s a rich, supple mouthful with long, fine, smooth tannins and some sweet oak poking through dark plum fruit. Delicious now, even better from 2012." - Nick Stock, Wine 100, June 2009. "Small discrete batches of older Shiraz were selected then fermented in open topped vessels before pressing through a traditional basket press. Keeping all fruit parcels separate, the individual wines were each matured in a combination of new and older French and American small oak casks for 24 months before final blending. A lovely broadness and weighted texture so common of McLaren Vale Shiraz with a degree of earthiness and spice, ripe coffee and mocha notes matched by firm tannins and charry oak giving the wine its roundness and palate persistence. An ageing potential of at least 12 - 15 years with careful cellaring." - Notes from Kilikanoon.
