A mix of Barossa and Eden Valley fruit, according to the back label.
Red / purple in colour. A rich nose redolent of vanilla, cloves, stewed plums, dark chocolate, and dark fruits. The palate is plush and velvety, with the chocolate and dark fruits flooding the palate. There's fine, integrated tannins, moderate acidity, and quite a long finish.
A full bodied wine, showing very well right now. It may plateau for a couple of years, but why wait?
Cheers

Wine, women and song. Ideally, you can experience all three at once.

I love this wine. It smells very musty on first opening, but after a good hour of decanting it opens up beautifully and becomes very smooth - a gorgeous shiraz!
