James Halliday
"5/5 Stars, 95 pts ... Pure fruitcake and chocolate bouquet; loaded with blackberry on the palate, there are ample levels of dark fruit, tar, licorice and a touch of spice; rich on entry, the acidity provides freshness and contrast. Drink through 2025."

Winemaker's Notes
"Another excellent red wine vintage in the Barossa with the shiraz wines showing excellent colour, concentration and style. The colour is a deep brooding red/ black leading to a bouquet of dark chocolate and blood plums. The palate is rich and soft in keeping with the Eight Songs style and the finish features plush, fine grained tannins."

Technical Notes
"Fermented & macerated on skins for up to 2 weeks with some partial barrel fermentation. Following pressing and clarification, the wine was matured in French oak hogsheads for approximately 18 months. 14.5% alc."
