Ripe blackberry, raspberry and blueberry notes are complimented by pepper, spice and mineral notes, with slight hints of oak and smoked meats. A soft and generous mouthfeel, featuring pepper, spice and creamy vanilla with smooth blackberry, raspberry, and dark plum flavours. Gentle velvety tannin structure with a lovely savoury finish.
This is an Amarone/Appassimento style wine. The grapes are hand-picked and laid onto racks to semi-dry. The length of drying timevaries each year and is influenced by the ripeness of the grape, theambient heat and humidity and the flavour on tasting. The dryingprocess intensifies the flavours whilst maintaining the structure andnatural acids of the grape. Wild ferment, open vats, hand plungeddaily.

"Opulent and splendidly expressed, the wine is filled with dark fruit richness, vanillin oak, warm spice and rich floral aromas on the nose. It's concentrated and richly textured in the mouth with excellent density and power, while remaining harmonious and balanced with a lengthy velvety finish, making it fabulously drinkable. At its best: now to 2036. $50.00."

"An appealing, rich style of Barossa Shiraz, with a rather immodest 15.3% alcohol, though the balance seems to make that near invisible. Chocolate, red fruits, smoked meats, spices, aniseed and florals. This is a ripe style with an attractive, supple texture with fine velvety tannins and impressive length. Enjoy this any time over the next eight years."

"The Hobbsys have done very well indeed here, from the excellent '21 vintage. It's made in the amarone/appassimento style; so semi-drying of the grapes on racks, wild ferment follows. There is often a density and broodiness to such styles. Not so here, as there is some lovely detail to the ripe dark and black plum and berry fruits with shades of spice box, dates, dark and milk chocolate, veal jus, glazed black cherries and earth. It's a lovely drink."
