The first Vintage by John Duval. 87% Shiraz and 13% Cabernet. Dry conditions throughout the season...an outstanding vintage. Matured in American Oak for 20 Months, this wine is here for the long haul.

The nose is intensely concentrated and ‘focused’ coffee and vanilla aromas from oak maturation, with perfectly ripened berry fruit. Slightly smoky from barrel fermentation.Packed full of dark berry, chocolate and licorice flavours working together in harmony. The palate is richly textured with smoky, dark berry, chocolate and liquorice flavours. Round, mouthfilling, gripping tannins. A harmonious whole, this wine combines power, structure and concentration.Drink till 2030+, *****.
