Sam Kim - Wine Orbit
Graceful and elegant, the wine shows dark berry, floral, olive and spicy oak characters on the nose, followed by a succulent palate displaying fine texture and well-integrated tannins. It's refined and attractively structured, finishing persistent and delectable. At its best: now to 2033.

Great Southern Shiraz has staked a serious claim as one of the pre-eminent wine styles of the nation. This example, from an exciting vintage, is vibrant mauve in colour. The nose offers delightful aromas of dry herbs, chocolate, spices, mulberries, tobacco leaves, aniseed, truffle and mulberries. Good intensity and concentration throughout, but there is also impeccable balance, focus and excellent length with fine tannins lining the finish. Expect ten years of pleasure from this wine, during which time it should improve even further.
