Yalumba The Octavius Edition VII 1996

Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia A perfect season in Barossa accounts for the 72/38 fruit split between Barossa and Eden Valley. The colour is still dark and the nose ebullient. Look for vanilla chocolate, plums figs licorice and spice. On the palate, the textures are sleek and supple with gorgeous fine slippery tannins. Love the deep berry fruit flavours and the warm long velvety finish. Outstanding and one of the first year's to take advantage of the on-site seasoned wood.Tasted: 05 May 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
