James Halliday – Deep colour; a distinguished, full-bodied
Bordeaux blend with blackcurrant, mulberry, black olive, briar and French
oak all in play. Has the length and balance to repay extended cellaring."
Halliday Wine Companion '17
James Halliday – From two blocks on the Avon Brae vineyard
in the Eden Valley and a single vineyard
in the Barossa Valley, open-fermented,
matured in French barriques (15% new)
for almost 2 years before blending.
The Reynell clone has for many, many
years been regarded as awesome
when used with French oak, this one
of innumerable examples. the wine is
very complex, with a suite of flavours
inching to the spice/licorice of cool
grown shiraz. A snap at the price.
James Halliday – Has the same felicitous oak handling as its
Shiraz sibling, even staring down the challenge
of cabernet sauvignon. Mind you, it is a
powerful cabernet, with a depth and range of
cassis/blackcurrant/mulberry flavours tied to
its bedrock of tannin, and does need patience.
James Halliday – Bright, full purple-crimson; tasted immediately post-bottling, and the tannins were exercising themselves. Once they've
settled down - and they will in a year to so - this could be a special wine as abundant cassis takes centre stage.
