Old Tapley Hill formation, Seaview subregion. The latter is instantly recognisable to me when tasting the wine. More power and density than the Willunga 1920 Shiraz even if the vines are much younger.
Blackberry and mulberry with plenty of raspberry highlights. Milk chocolate and licorice. High quality tannins tether the flavours. Plenty of intensity and weight. Bold but ably delineated. 94
