Planted in 1920 Grant Burge’s Filsell vineyard is considered one of the best vineyards in the Barossa Valley and consistently produces fruit of great intensity and concentration. Known as Meshach’s younger brother the 2015 vintage was matured in a combination of French and American oak for 21 months.
This 2015 vintage has an impenetrable inky black core with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Intense aromas of ripe blackberries and liquorice tinged with dark chocolate drift effortlessly out of the glass followed by vanillin oak, subtle scorched earth and spice. Rich with Barossa’s trademark concentration and glowing opulence the palate is awash with dark and black fruit flavours. Ripe blackberry, dark plum and liquorice saturate the mouth underscored by subtlety toasted vanillin oak, traces of dark chocolate and spice. Silky smooth, perfectly integrated tannins have a solid underlying structure. Excellent intensity with a long ripe blackberry, liquorice, dark plum, subtle dark chocolate, vanillin oak and spice aftertaste. Drink now to 2030.
