2015 ‘Fat of the Land’ Barossa Shiraz, Seppeltsfield
HuonHooke.com, July 2018, Huon Hooke. 94 points
Full red colour with a tinge of purple. The bouquet lifted and slightly volatile from the high alcohol strength; the body very full and rich, dense, concentrated and sumptuously textured. A big, solid wine with great intensity, concentration and power. Impressive stuff; for long-term cellaring.

The bouquet suggests structured black fruits, and that is precisely what the palate delivers, although it is not a question of weight or body. This simply needs time for more fat to cover the bones.

Bold, with toffee and nutmeg overtones to the core of dark, ripe plum and black cherry flavours. Finishes with a mouthful of thick, velvety tannins and lingering spice details. Drink now through 2029.
