Dark berry fruit, a more savoury take on Shiraz as the evolution in style began to take hold, while keeping true to the structured swagger of these complex old vines. This is lush, majoring on vivid blackberry, loganberry fruits, with roasted spices of star anise, white pepper and cloves. Tasted under screwcap and cork, with the density and freshness a little clearer under screwap, but both are successful. Heading towards 70% French oak for ageing from this vintage, and bringing in 300l hogshead to lessen the oak impact. First year with Tom Barry as winemaker, bottled unfiltered and unfined.
