Inky ruby. Dense, powerful nose offers redcurrant liqueur, cherry preserves, licorice, tobacco, saddle leather and dried rose. Sweet, supple and silky, with red and dark berry flavors expanding to saturate the palate. The combination of concentrated sweetness and precision here is really impressive. A serious, complex, deep red blend with excellent potential for cellaring.

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