Sunday lunch with the Wine-Ark boys (Frank's place in Matraville): Muted blackberry and black pepper…Quite Crozes in a ripe year…I also get some soy, leather, liquorice and animal mustiness. More of the same on the palate but very broad and quite thick and dense. Despite old world techniques ('m guessing whole bunch and probably some whole berry) this is very much a child of the Barossa. Based on this outing I'm going to have to try more of these wines when they have some age on them.

Plum, spice and vanilla. Upped the score after decanting for an hour

Almost powdery texture, i think it is in some middle stage and might get better over time.

Hmm again. Needs a bit more time I suspect but pleasant enough.
