92 Points – James Halliday 2020
This is McLaren Vale Shiraz at its finest. From the acclaimed ‘Jones Block’, this wine is well regarded for its generous, yet elegant style. A small parcel was selected from our century old vines for complex fruit flavours and seamless structure. Grapes are hand pruned; wine is aged in fine grained French and American oak. As always, no corners cut.
A celebrated McLaren Vale single vineyard Shiraz, offering plum and dark blackberry aromas combined with a rich robust mouthfeel. A hint of vanilla and spice from lovely integrated French oak adds the finishing touch
A rich, savoury and spicy blend, this wine has a fleshy middle palate and great length. Enjoyed with food, a glass or three of Paxton is certain to spice up the evening.
Aroma: An intense savoury nutmeg lift, with notes of cinnamon and cracked black pepper notes supporting ripe mulberries and stewed plums.
Palate: Full bodied wine with bright layers of primary fruit blended with delicious, luxurious and exquisite oak. Richness, depth and concentrated fruit flavour with notes of plums and blackcurrant give this wine amazing length and power.
Cellaring: This wine can be enjoyed young, however careful cellaring for 10-30 years will be rewarded.
Reviews
There’s a tussle between the charry-coconutty drying oak and the fruit. Savoury, inky with terse, raspy tannins across a rather pinched palate; maybe time will sort this battle out 90/100
