Note di degustazione
From the same team (growers Kim and Mark Longbottom and winemaker Kim Johnston) that runs Henry’s Drive, this wine is made in a similar style. Produced from 6- to 12-year-old vines, it is a blend of 70% Shiraz and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 100% American oak, of which 80% is new. It is an in-your-face, exuberant, flamboyant Aussie red boasting loads of espresso roast, toasty oak, blackberries, cassis, and licorice. Full-bodied, opulent, and voluptuous, with oodles of glycerin and depth, this hussy requires drinking during its first 7-8 years of life, although it may last even longer.

Dark ruby. Jammy red berries along with strong oak spice and vanilla on the nose. Fat, lush and sweet, with intense flavors of raspberry and kirsch and a wallop of vanilla. Finishes with very gentle tannins and repeating red berry notes.
