PNP. Slightly medicinal on the nose. As others gave said a really savoury, meaty character but still loads of fruit so I suspect will last for a few tears yet - certainly not tiring. Medium finish

I find this delightful, quite weightless in a Burgundian way, but with a really intense sauvage, meaty, smoky, animale, savoury intensity. Youthful and delicious.

On the light side for Barossa wine, despite alc% of 13.8. Aromas are classic Barossa- wilted violet, raspberry, tilled soil, soiled diaper and canned corn reduction. Abit of cinnamon and clove from the syrah. Palate is more glyceric than rich. More artificially minty sweet than tasty or sapid per se. Average wine but acceptable

Lovely. Served chilled at Momofuku Seiōbo. Spicy, minerally, unusual wine

Australia Day Weekend Tasting : Spicy nose with black/red currant, some pepper and stalk, cinnamon and graphite. Rich and spice driven on the palate too, the balance is excellent and there is a mineral core that runs through the length of the wine and lifts over the top of the fruit richness. Give it 5-10 years to shine.
