The finest of this trio is the flagship cuvee the 2004 Shiraz produced from 80- to 150-year-old dry farmed vineyards in the northern Ebenezer sector of the Barossa. Aged 16 months in French oak and American hogsheads this larger-than-life fascinating wine (cropped at .25 to 1 ton of fruit per acre) offers big sweet blackberry and cassis characteristics intermixed with notions of smoke licorice and pain grille. A wine of amazing extract richness and full-bodied power with great purity as well as balance this stunning offering should age effortlessly for 15 or more years. Filled with personality it is a tour de force in Barossa Shiraz.
