Top Notes For
A brilliant wine. 1 of the top 10 wines this year for me. A plum infused minerality...... Rain on a hot bitumen road". A powerful persistent yet balanced palate showing great ripeness but not overdone. Most tasters would not pick this as NZ - more probably Australian. This wine would compete favourably in any International Shiraz competition. 18.5+.
