Bright red-purple; produced 100-year-old vines on Carl Lindner's vineyards, hand-picked, openfermented and basket-pressed into French oak, and bottled without filtration or fining. The fragrant bouquet leads into a fresh and juicy medium-bodied palate, with both black and red fruits supported by silky tannins and a dab of oak.Drink by 2020.

Intense crimson with youthful purple hues. Lifted blue fruits, Satsuma plum, macerated blackberries and Christmas pudding-like spice flow out of the glass with spicy pepper, and hints of bramble and dark cocoa. Generous mouth filling sweet blackberry, raspberry and plums cover the palate with lashings of sweet spice. Firm but fine tannins and dark chocolaty nuances continue throughout the lengthy palate with youthful finish.

As much as I love the Barossa valley its not my favourite region probably because Shiraz is not my grape of choice. Having said that I think when it's done right (ie. not 6000 percent alcohol) it can be yummy, more-ish and just a joy to drink. Over a 3 day period I drank this wine; my first impression was that I was not that fimiliar with the nose but I warmed to it; more blue fruits I suspect. One thing I think a wine must do is make you salivate which you get from good acid within the grape hence lower alcohol so a big tick to the "Lionheart" for this. It's not huge on length but great for the price. I have tasted many a wine at twice this price point and i have been dissapointed so thumbs up.
