This flagship wine made from the finest selection of Shiraz from each vintage is an opaque purple color with dark purple hues. It shows superb aromas of a complex mix of violets, chocolate and cigar box. The Langhorne Creek Shiraz in this year's wine, adds palate richness and chocolate mocha/characters on the nose. The palate is an explosion of flavor. Lashings of briary cassis fruit flavors and spiced plum are followed by back palate flavors of spice, liquorice and white pepper. The tannins are fine grained through a lingering finish that has hints of blackberry and plum.
