1 bottle 2010 Black Dog Shiraz

96 POINTS JAMES HALLIDAY
Medium weight, but those rich, dark fruit and chocolate characters from the nose come through with plenty of power. Ample, but very fine grained, almost graphite-like tannins weave through the fruit to give the palate plenty of structure to hang onto for years to come. Halliday says to 2030, Mattinson to 2025+, so sometime around then sounds good to us.

1 bottle 2011 Black Dog Shiraz

96 POINTS JAMES HALLIDAY
Deep dark wine, seven years old, but you wouldn’t guess it. Still has freshness of dark plums and blackberry in support of characters that develop with age, dark chocolate, roasted root vegetables and loads of peppery spice. The palate still has lustre showcasing density and weight, with a long satisfying texture keeping the tannins in balance. Will still benefit from ageing, but drinking superbly now.

2 bottles 2014 Gravel Pit Shiraz

96 POINTS JAMES HALLIDAY
Dark colour with some piercing primary fruit, blue berry and blackberry which then develops into roasted beetroot with lifted earthy undertones and fresh toasted French oak. The wine has a polished feel about it, some subtle vanilla oak supporting a rich tapestry of flavours, sweet and juicy, pure, weighty and long. Drinking seamlessly at the moment, match it with BBQ roasted lamb.

2 bottles 2012 Coat of Arms Cabernet Merlot

95 POINTS JAMES HALLIDAY
Medium to full bodied, with a sweet juicy and expansive front palate. Serious, ripe and nutty structural tannins fill out the middle and a hints of black coffee, then a twist of blood-orange acidity give a fresh, yet savoury finish. Will happily reward further cellaring to 2020, perhaps beyond.
