Dark and juicy. A harmonious, complex wine that has a welcome lift of acidity to the blackberry, cherry and licorice flavors, persisting on the fleshy finish against very fine tannins. Drink now through 2014. 415 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Barossa Select to Add

The inclusion of a large proportion of Eden Valley fruit gives this wonderfully complex aromas of cracked peppers and dried spices, which build upon a solid core of ripe blackberry fruit. Creamy and lush on the midpalate, it firms up considerably by the finish. This stays true to Wolf Blass’s approachable style while layering on additional depth and potential longevity. Drink now–2016 and possibly beyond.——J.C.(11/1/2007)—— 92
