Really beautiful, feminine Shiraz. Not as full body or powerful as Barossa: brighter fruit with smooth undertones of pepper. — 6 years ago
Greg Hobbs featured opening wine for us at The Artisans of Barossa. This is his Tango for the two grapes in the blend...Shiraz and Viognier. The two make for an excellent wine that just kept dancing better and better as they opened up. Greg was a Police Officer for 10 years before buying property in Barossa. Quite a transition! Greg's property right next to Chris Ringland's. — 8 years ago
Deep garnet red with ruby hues. Took some time to open up on the nose with cigar, cedar, plums, anise, herbal and some spices. Well rounded with solid acidity, medium tannins (5.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Aged plate with dark plums, cigars and some some herbs. Long finish. Drink till 2022. — 6 years ago
A rich plush Barossa Shiraz. Full bodied plum and berry flavours. A lovely fluid supple palate, the product of old vine fruit. Looking through my notes I see I have had Little Wine #2 #3 #5 and #6 but somehow missed this #4 Multi vintage comprising 2012 at 17%; 2013 at 44% and 2014 at 39%. All good years in the Barossa although Fraser would say some were more difficult than others. Vine age ranges from the 1990s with the oldest planted prior to 1912. Rich and delicious. — 7 years ago
Overripe fig, Blackberry jam, black cherry jam, amarena, marjoram, eucalyptus, paté, nutmeg, dusty earth. Amazing w beef wellington and kouign-amman! 15.8% but not that crazy on nose. — 8 years ago

Very elegant, still slightly jammy & typically Aussie.
Blackberry & blueberry galore, with a minty, herby, edge. Ripe, yet fresh & enticing.
Impeccably balanced on the palate even if rich. The quality of tannins is so nice, the acidity so juicy, balancing the black fruit so nicely.
This is a very nice one. — a day ago
