Bright full ruby. Varietally expressive aromas of currant, espresso, smoke, gunflint and sexy oak, with a distinctly feral note. Highly concentrated, dense and smoky, with a strong syrah note of gunflint. Broad, mouthfilling shiraz with lovely framing acidity, intriguing minerality and impressively sweet tannins.

Rating for Australia-South Australia-Adelaide-Fleurieu-McLaren Vale: 95 (good year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>
