96 / 100"Sumptuous and opulent, the wine shows dark fruit richness, mocha, toasty oak, game and mixed spice aromas on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate that's velvety and mouth filling. Tannins are silky and beautifully melded, making the wine lavish and deliciously long. At its best: now to 2038."

Tasting Notes
This winery boasts a deep-rooted family history in the Barossa Valley, tracing back to 1843 when Christian Auricht, an ancestor of grower David Braunack, settled in Langmeil, South Australia. The German settlers soon discovered the land’s suitability for winemaking and thus began a long-standing family tradition and legacy.
A traditional big bold and intense Barossa Shiraz delivering richness and flavour without overpowering accompanying food.
A warm dry growing season promoted rich ripe and generous fruit flavours, typified in dark plum characters. Sweet black fruit and chocolate flavours come together with good concentration in the mouth, and a soft tannin finish. To be enjoyed with good food and friends over the next decade.
