Considering the whopping average vine age (97 years old, sourced half from Barossa, half from Eden), this lacks some character. It's a massive wine more suited to a fork and carving knife than glass. The nose is concentrated and polished with notes of plush cherries, currants and blueberries underpinned by savory spice, vanilla bean and a chocolaty sheen. The palate is powerful, with savory, somewhat chewy tannins. Nevertheless, it never feels syrupy or cooked, and there's a structure here that indicates a long life ahead.
