"A brighter, bigger style of St Henri. Strawberry and cherry on the nose, then a ripe and concentrated palate full of flavour, charm and personality, packed with tons of superb spice which comes from both the fruit and the wood: liquorice, black and Szechuan pepper. Juicy, succulent and totally moreish on the finish. Very full structured, dense and powerful but tightly coiled right now. Built for the long haul, this will age for decades and provide plenty of enjoyment along the way. A blend of 96% Shiraz and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Padthaway, aged 14 months in large, seasoned oak vats. Released at £95." - Georgie Hindle (07/2025)

"Slate, crayon, rose bud, raspberry puree, cumin, tapenade, enveloping peony notes as it opens. Intense right now, with a ton of pleasure, but this is a wine that deserves long cellaring, and I suggest giving it several more years in bottle to allow the floral, finessed side to come out, as this is truly a wine that can age. Peter Gago chief winemaker. No new oak for ageing." (07/2025)
