About the wine
Tasting notes
Totally pitch black at its core with an equally deep dark purple black hue. Intense and heady aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, liquorice and dark chocolate followed by vanillin oak, hints of earth, fennel and spice. in the mouth it's incredibly rich and decadent, yet firmly structured with concentrated flavours that echo the nose, along with savoury herbs, mocha and complex spice. Muscular tannins, deep minerality and endless intensity makes this a beast that is destined to age for decades.

Expert review
The impact of the egg in this wine is one of refinement, or so I see it; it retains a purity of fruit at the core, which speaks to the chalky tannins that spool through the finish. They're chewy and seductive and really great. It's a beautiful release—not shimmering like the 2021, but textural and fine and elongated in its way. It's a beguiling wine, a thinking wine. And, as with the other wines tasted alongside, the bottle that has been open for two days is infinitely more complete; however, it must be noted that this review is built on the freshly opened bottle. 14.9% alcohol, sealed under natural cork and wax.
Shiraz or Syrah
Shiraz, or Syrah, is one of the most loved, rich and powerful red wine varieties made famous for its mineral and structured expressions from the Rhône in France and the rich and decadent fruity expressions from the Barossa Valley in Australia. Full bodied, rich in antioxidants and generously fruity, Shiraz sits proudly on the table for those that like their wine big and bold. Think violets, blackberries, plum, chocolate, pepper, black olive, liquorice, rosemary, tobacco and spice...i'm thirsty already!
