Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Wonderfully fruited and gorgeously expressed, showing dark fruit richness, fragrant spice, toasty oak, and dark chocolate aromas on the nose. The palate is superbly weighted and plump, delivering a plush texture and layers of polished tannins, making it splendidly structured with a persistent, sumptuous finish.

Russ Gallagher - Vino Masters

Deep crimson with a dark core. Aromas of blackberry, plum and dark cherry are layered with notes of spice, cedar and subtle earthiness.The palate is full-bodied and structured, delivering fruit of blackberry and plum supported by fine tannins and balanced acidity. Savoury notes and gentle oak integration build through the mid-palate, finishing long, smooth and persistent. Its balance of fruit and structure is a key highlight. A refined Shiraz with depth, structure and regional character. ★★★★ Structured, balanced and expressive

When you let it breathe for a little while, the real beauty of this wine emerges with those ripe plummy notes. Rich, juicy blackberry and a wonderful expression on the palate all come together to provide a wine that is quite luscious and plush, offering tremendous richness and concentration, but all supremely balanced.

Ken Gargett - Winepilot

Under Diam, this is a serious Shiraz from the Coonawarra region. Deep maroon in colour, there are lashings of chocolate here. Plenty of oak as well, which has been well handled, we also have aromas weaving through cassis, blackcurrants, dark plums, mocha and coffee beans. Softly textured, this is generous and very approachable, with a lingering finish exhibiting satiny tannins. It should continue to appeal over the next ten to fifteen years.

This is a rich, smooth, oak-splashed shiraz from Coonawarra with plenty of flavour on the palate to hang onto. It tastes of chocolate, coffee, smoked cedar and ripe, roasted plums, with peppercorn and mint notes as highlights. This wine is seven years old but it’s still primary and fresh, which is always both a good sign, and helps to keep the enjoyment-factor high.
