ripe dark-fruit aromas

this is a very great wine

and my mother wanted me to do medicine or law

with a firm entry and finish and lots of soft berry flavour in the centre

but you go back for that palate feel

Good chardonnay here

Frankland River wine

the Grandfathers Shiraz planted in 1860

With a bit of air its great now

crimson ruby

it is richer and heavier than Bin 128 but it is another finely tuned wine

however a wine with this much fruit and extract will also mature wonderfully for the next 10-12 years
