Screwcap

Expensive icon wines must make bold declarations and this is a statement about power expressed through structure rather than heft. The black-toned fruit with hints of black olive and bay leaf is lean – toned and fit like an elite athlete – but there’s ample muscle in this strong medium-bodied wine to underline the complexity of dark flavours from old-vine fruit. It’s a very careful measure, to cherish the sweetness of Shiraz but temper it with enough tart tannic bite. Balance is the key here, with tannins and oak both playing a modest supporting role that allows the complex flavour profile to shine.
