THE WINE PILOT KEN GARGETT

92 points Drink till 2031 "The vines for this single vineyard Shiraz were planted in 1978. The wine sees ten months in French oak barrels. The colour is a deep red/garnet. The aromas include warm earth notes, red fruits, some slightly rustic touches, leather, animal skins and mushrooms. A hint of black fruits lurking in the background. The palate lifts and we have a core of sweet cherries. Supple texture, fine balance, good focus, fine if ever-so-slightly firm tannins and decent length. Drink this over the next four to seven years."   "Char and dusty earth notes mingle with red and blackberries on the nose. It flows beautifully through the palate, there's a nice line of oak that supports the fruit and frames the wine."
