96 Points - Halliday Wine Companion 2024
Tasting Notes:
A year of tiny yields and warm finish to vintage have combined to great effect with this D Block Shiraz. The wine shows a full spectrum of warmed spices, dark plum and blueberry fruits, volcanic rock and violet perfume. The palate displays a great spread of flavour with plum fruits, roasted nuts, a hint of ginger and earthy rocky tannins. There’s a wine here that’s built for the long haul and really shows the best of site and vintage.
