James Halliday 95 Points

This is serious gear. So deep, so dark, so potent and yet, stellar balance. Dark cherry, mocha and espresso characters amongst ripe plum, choc-orange, brined black olive and leafy, minty elements between bouquet and palate. Rich, satiny, very concentrated and finishes way, way into the distance. All the while finding an even keel between fruit ripeness, spice, wood seasoning and freshness. Formidable shiraz, done righteously.
