An embracing wine that captures so much of the Barossa. Comes from selected rows among selected vineyards, after which the best barrels are chosen to create this exceptional wine. Seductive aromas of black cherry and blackberry with a slightly plummy characters. It’s a powerful wine yet the delivery is all one of finesse and elegance. Seamlessly woven chalky tannins thread through the beautifully weighted palate. Bright and bursting with energy.

This hedonistic expression sits in that sweet zone, nigh on the envelope being pushed too far, while straddling a point of composure and poise. A warm, concentrated vintage, manifest as heady aromas of violet, boysenberry pie, cocoa nib, olive and creamy barrel work. Sexy stuff, built for the hedonist. This said, this classy, full-weighted wine is firmly stamped with a sense of place. Alcohol: 14.9%; Rating: 95 Points; Ned Goodwin MW

Immensely complex and enticing, the wine is packed with blackberry, mocha, potpourri, vanillin oak and warm spice characters. The powerfully concentrated palate delivers outstanding depth and plush texture, wonderfully framed by beautifully melded tannins. Multi-layered and lavish, this is magnificent and gratifying.

One of the icon wines of the 1847 stable. A first-pick, barrel-selection wine that sports a 'classic' Barossa palate shape and feel with deep, black-fruited concentration, layers of spice, licorice, espresso, ironstone, dark chocolate, olive tapenade and turned earth. Dense with an 'old school' feel, chewy, grainy tannin support and a broody sense of compression on the finish.
