James Suckling jamessuckling.com October 2022 “一款多汁且果味丰富的西拉葡萄酒，带有李子、成熟草莓和红肉片、陶土和橙皮的底韵。中等至饱满的酒体，奶油般的单宁和鲜美的余味。水果的浓郁度和集中度令人惊叹。”

葡萄园： 2020年的秋冬两季，一代人中最严重的干旱被大量降雨打破，我们迎来了2021年份卓越的生长季节。随后的凉爽夏季为我们带来了均匀且无压力的成熟期，而在澳大利亚日（Australia Day）前后的热度正好在成熟最后阶段完美地出现。由于早期萌芽和晚于正常的收获，果实的挂枝时间比正常长，这意味着所有果实都有美妙的风味，并且由高自然酸度平衡。

酿酒师笔记： 在2月中旬的第二周，我们手工采摘并在葡萄园内进行筛选，所有的地块都保持分开，并在开口的发酵罐中发酵。然后，这些单独的葡萄酒在主要是较新的法国橡木桶（2700升）中陈酿，直到2021年11月组装成Vat 9混酿。混酿后再陈酿五个月，然后装瓶。

品酒笔记： 颜色鲜艳的紫色，高贵的香气展现出提升的香料、深色水果和微妙的橡木香。口感中等，展现出极大的强度和这一年份醉佳葡萄酒中可见的丝滑质感。口感结构毫不费力，没有粗糙的边缘，展现出果实、酸度、橡木和单宁之间出色的平衡。

James Suckling jamessuckling.com October 2022 “A juicy and fruity Shiraz with plums, ripe strawberries and undertones of sliced red meat, terracotta and orange peel. Medium to full body, creamy  tannins and a savory finish. Lovely intensity of fruit and focus that is astounding.”

Vineyard：The autumn and winter months of 2020 saw the worst drought in a generation be broken with substantial rainfall, we led into  an outstanding growing season for the 2021 vintage. A cool summer then gave us even, stress-free ripening with some heat  around Australia Day that was perfectly timed at the final stages of ripening. With an early budburst and later than normal  harvesting, the fruit had a longer than normal hang time, which meant that all of the fruit had wonderful flavours balanced  by a high natural acidity.

Winemaker’s Notes：Handpicked and sorted in the vineyard in the second week of February, the blocks were all kept separate and fermented in  the open top vats. The individual wines were then matured in mostly newer French oak casks (2700L) until the Vat 9 blend  was assembled in November 2021. The blend was then matured for a further five months before bottling.

Characteristics: Vibrant purple in colour, a regal nose showing lifted spice, dark fruits and subtle hint of oak. The palate is medium-bodied  showing great intensity and the velvety texture that is seen in the best wines from this vintage. The palate structure is  effortless with no rough edges showing wonderful balance of fruit, acid, oak and tannin.
