This juice from the 78 year old vines from the N.E area of the Barossa Valley produces some killer juice. In my top 5 from down under this sucker done' break the mold. Deep ruby-purple with no rim this kept the string goeing. Nose reluctant until 1 hour in the glass. Deep black and red fruits, spicy notes and some velvet tannins that are almost resolved. Lovely mouthfeel and a 4+ lapper finish. No notes on price, 14.5% alc. 93/? WW
