Tasting Notes:

Deep black to crimson red with purple highlights. A massive all encompassing nose when allowed to breathe, forest fruits, blackberries, kalamata olive, and black pepper which are supported by a dark core of espresso bean, leather saddle and dried raisons. The palate shows superb concentration offering up tremendous texture and combines great richness with notes of chocolate, white truffle, leather, blackcurrant, black olive and alcohol. This style of wine requires decanting and time to breathe to soften prior to consuming although will be cellared prior to release the wine has the fruit, alcohol and tannin structure to ensure cellaring for many more years where it will continue to evolve. A wonderfully example of big and bold Barossa Shiraz which will stand the test of time, ensure it is allowed to breathe for at least 3 hours prior to consuming.

Technical:

The 2015 vintage proved to be another good Barossa vintage following on from the 2012, 2013 and 2014 years which although had challenges provided excellent varietal flavours. The dry grown, old vines that yielded this fruit managed to produce wonderful fruit despite small volumes. We hand picked the fruit from a single block with vines aged up to 90 years. The fruit was transported to the winery where it was gently de-stemmed into concrete open top fermenters. It was then carefully nurtured for 7 days on skins with pump overs occurring twice daily, varying in duration and intensity. When primary fermentation was almost complete, the wine was drained from the skins and the must is gently basket pressed for 8 hours. The wine remains in a stainless steel tank until primary fermentation is completed. It is then run directly into new and old American and French hogsheads where it spent the next 24 months. Once the oak and the wine had perfectly become one the wine is blended and bottled without the use of filtration or fining.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Oldboy from Class wine This is one for the cellar and special occasions . But life is short so definitely enjoy this full body red soon.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Piglets from Beautiful Full Bodied Wine I have only tried 2 bottles so far but its great and will improve further. Im trying to keep the remainder for a few years but will buy more if offered again. Best for lovers of full bodied wines

Rated 5 out of 5 by the wine guy from A BIG red! Monolith lives up to its name. This is indeed a BIG red. On release from the confines of the bottle, its earthiness is immediately obvious. Once allowed to stretch its legs, it continues to live up to that big promise displaying deep structure and complex flavours. This is a good wine. I can't wait to see how much better it gets after a few years in the cellar - if it lasts that long!

Rated 4 out of 5 by emmeff64 from Big heavy red! Big heavy red that can do with some time in the decanter upon opening!

Rated 4 out of 5 by dino from waiting for the age Bought a few weeks ago, tasted one bottle and will leave for 5 years, a lot of development needed to get near the 2009 vintage

Rated 4 out of 5 by alexv from 4 almost a 5 This is not a light drop but if you are into oomphy reds, this is a good one.

Rated 4 out of 5 by sidjan from Like me the title reflects quality with age I don't but anything below 95 points any more. I value quality over quantity. This is a mature Shiraz nicely rounded, full of flavour and robust.
