This is so concentrated. The 2019 Shiraz Langi is intense, powerful and structural, but its real attribute is its austerity of line. It has ferruginous notes and graphite, with coal dust and crushed peppercorns, ductile and lithe and pliable somehow. This is clearly a wine to age, although if you dive in now, you will swim through the delights of forest fruits and wall-to-wall flavor. This is a very big wine, but not a wine to overlook on that account... This wine is revered for its legacy and capacity for aging. Patience is recommended.

Very deep, bright purple/red colour, with a concentrated cassis bouquet, fresh and youthful, with lifted aromatic notes suggesting blackberry, dried herbs, blueberry and a faint hint of peppermint, while the flavour is mouth-filling and concentrated in its intensity. Masses of fine, appropriately firm tannins coat the mouth, all components in harmony. A splendid cabernet that already shows complexity and promises to age superbly. (From the Justin vineyard)

Has the usual estate blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc and malbec (92/4/3/1%), the grapes hand picked on fruit days between early February and early March, the components matured in French oak (50% new) for 13 months. The perfumed bouquet has already soaked up the new oak, the purity of the fruit in a cassis-redcurrant-blueberry spectrum. The small berries of a quasi-drought summer might have imposed awkward tannins, but the medium-bodied palate is so perfectly balanced it has a drinking span of 30 years and counting.

Bright medium-deep purple-red colour with a lovely fresh young spice, red and blue fruit bouquet, a dazzling display of spices and fruits. An outstanding wine, the fine tannins contributing to a very good backbone and great length. One of the best young wines at the Clonakilla 50th anniversary retrospective.

Deep and bright red with tint of purple and in very good condition for its eight years of age. The bouquet is smoky, charcuterie-like, peppery and meat-stocky, complex and bold, still fresh and promising to hold for quite a few more years. The palate is medium-full bodied and supple textured, very shirazzy with earthy and pepper/spice characteristics, the palate full bodied and bold with impressive middle-palate intensity, abundant supple tannins and a cleansing grip at the finish.
