"Toni Paterson MW captured the essence of the bracket well when she said, ‘wonderful to see so many expressions and personalities on the table’. Shiraz is always a challenge to judge in this setting, because every wine represented in this category is worthy of being included; to try to split them is painfully difficult. This decision, however, fell out easily. It was clear as day, a victory by a large margin for one of Australia’s greatest wines." – Katrina Butler
Vintage 2023
An intensely aromatic bouquet bursts from the glass with punchy purple florals, lifted by hints of white pepper, green cardamom and sandalwood, while subtle notes of fresh vanilla pod. The palate is drenched in staining blackberry juice, layered with rich blueberry fruits, a touch of molasses and the distinctive allure of Luxardo cherry. Nuances of musk and cedar intertwine with savoury bay leaf, lending complexity and a dark, brooding character. Both robust and elegant, the wine presents a compelling juxtaposition that captivates the senses. Fine, graphitelike tannins seamlessly integrate with and structure the densely concentrated fruit, while bright, driving acidity brings energy and poise. The result is a long, persistent and effortlessly moreish finish that leaves a lasting impression.
