Product details
Deep, dark red with a black core. Deeply pitched aromas of blackberry, sage, cacao beans, lavender and Christmas spice. Crashes across the palate with authority. Lots of density of flavour, rich and vibrant fruits and deeply embedded yet complexing notes of dried lavender, star anise, coffee grounds, and cacao beans add depth and intrigue.
The flagship Shiraz is the 2015 Shiraz Ares, a 100% Barossa Valley Shiraz that spent just over two years in 20% new French oak, with the balance in 1- to 4-year-old barrels. It puts its foot firmly on the ripeness pedal and sports a monster bouquet of blackberries, plums, toasted spice, chocolate, and toasted bread. This gives way to a huge, massive Shiraz that, despite its depth of fruit and richness, stays balanced, complex, and nuanced. Nevertheless, this isn’t for those looking for lightweight aromas and flavors. Drink this bombastic beauty any time over the coming 10-15 years.
