Yet another Katnook red straight from the top drawer. It’s a complex, sophisticated package whose vibrant flavours of violets and dark fruit marry perfectly with smoky mocha and cedar oak qualities. Powerful yet very supple and elegant, it reveals great depth and restraint.

Willowy and elegant, with the structure, length and balance and mature with grace. Dusty and faintly herbal aromas of small black and red berries, mulberries and violets backed by restrained oak and musky forest floor undertones, reveal a hint of capsicum. Initially plump and juicy, it’s medium to full-bodied, with restrained but lively black and red berry and plum flavours supported by reserved oak and a supple spine of dusty tannin. It finishes with length and persistence, but with some underlying herbal notes and a suggestion of green-edged acidity.

A stunner of a Barossa shiraz that easily knocks many a significantly more expensive wine of the same region, variety and vintage straight out of the park. Powerful and richly flavoured, it unfolds a complex, meaty bouquet of dark plums, blackberries and dark cherries knit with chocolatey oak and lifted by fiery eastern spices. Despite its power, it shows the restraint of the vintage, with a core of black and red fruits driving long and unctuous towards a lingering finish of licorice and polished leather. With the balance and expression of a wine many times its price, it has to be one of the bargains of the century.

A beautifully made and expressive pinot noir whose heady and faintly spicy bouquet of dark cherries, blood plums and faintly dusty, smoky oak reveals suggestions of beetroot and dried herbs. It’s long and gentle, unfolding a vivacious core of blueberries, red berries and dark cherries deftly wound around a fine-grained spine of powdery tannin. Finishing bright and fresh, it’s as generous as it is finely balanced. Ready to enjoy now or set for a decade of intriguing development – the choice is yours.
