This wine was grown on vines that were planted on the banks of Jacob’s Creek, in the Barossa Valley, in 1847. It was matured in French oak for two years prior to bottling.
The back label mentions the word unctuous and that is exactly what this wine is. It’s plush, rich and luxurious, with a creaminess to the mouthfeel and genuine depth to the flavour. It tastes of blackberry and dark chocolate, licorice and earth, toast, cloves and cedarwood. It has firm, fine tannin but, that said, the fruit swamps the tannin and carries the wine onwards regardless. This wine is a meal in itself, in the best of ways. It’s mouth-filling and soul-restoring. 95 points.
