97 / 100"Deep, dense, dark purple colour. Impressive to look at. Concentrated black fruits, dried herbs, sage, pepper and blackberry. Very complex and stylish already. Great concentration and power, profound wine and enormously impressive. Great wine. Hints of licorice and aniseed, but very subtle and just adds extra nuances. Tremendous softness and persistence. Fantastic wine. 20% Eden Valley"

Tasting Notes
The Barossa Valley provides the wines substance and compelling texture, while the distinctive menthol floral aromas are indicative of the near perfect ripening conditions experienced in the Eden Valley. The wines lingering palate is underscored by soft, seamless tannins. The subtlety and finesse of Old Block Shiraz ensures it will evolve beautifully over the years.
