Inky purple red in color with intense depth to the rim. Aromas of sweet rich fruit and lifted cedar oak fill the glass. Abundant blackberry, violets and cigar box roll through the profile adding complexity and interest. The palate is round and silky with dark plum, liquorice, briar and blackberry primary fruits. The rich, toasty oak, and fleshy rounded tannins complete the palate of this dense, flowing wine. This poised and powerful wine is drinking amazingly well but with its density and presence will cellar impeccably well.

The 2019 Shiraz Shotfire Reserve offers a touch more purity and precision, with beautiful red and blue fruits interwoven with sweet spices, menthol, candied flowers, and pepper. It's beautifully textured, has a round, layered mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and a salty, lengthy finish. It's a beautifully balanced, elegant Shiraz with tons to love.

This deep cherry-hued bottling is rich and polished, evoking mocha, leather, savory spice and plum preserves. It's mouth coating on the palate, with gauzy tannins and a touch of alcohol heat. Not for the faint-hearted, this wrist-achingly heavy bottle is aging quite quickly now, but could hold up another five years or so.
