6 * 2017 Buckle Shiraz ($55 per bottle)
With a wonderful full-flavoured wine body, this shiraz has red and black fruit characters of heavily perfumed dark berries, plums and mulberries. It is round and well-structured with an elegant balance contributed by oak and a balanced lingering finish.

It's superbly rich and opulent, showing dark fruit intensity, vanillin oak, toasted spice and dark cocoa characters on the nose. The palate is equally satisfying with excellent depth and power, wonderfully complemented by velvety texture and beautifully pitched tannins, fishing persistent and silky. At its best: now to 2032.
