96 points - Halliday Wine Companion 2027

A wonderfully perfumed shiraz from Flaxman Valley up in the eastern hills, 100% whole berry and matured in French oak (18% new) for 18 months. Bright purple/crimson with lifted, citrus blossom-flecked aromas of satsuma plum, blueberry and boysenberry fruits. Hints of exotic spice, dried citrus rind, fruit-and-nut chocolate, panforte, bay leaf, pan juices and crushed rock. This is just looking lovely. Finely structured, with powdery, granitic tannins, a bright mineral cadence and the purest, glossy dark and blue fruits trailing off into the distance. Cracker!
