Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia. Shiraz. 12.5%. Diam (with wax seal as pictured). $A65What a curious and compelling wine. . . It seems more substantial than the stated 12.5, while the use of whole bunches gives this quite a distinctive and sappy Burgundian nose. Spiced and perfumed, there is a fleeting hint of cream before a more consistent and lasting note of haw flakes, dried herbs, earth and smallgoods. Bright and primary, this is quite a svelte wine with a lovely spine and dainty flesh. Right now, I think I prefer its cheaper sibling, in time though I suspect this will blossom and grow. 92+. 2012- 2020.
