Dark purple in colour. Aromatically it bursts forth with black cherry, lavender perfume, mixed spice, fruit cake, chocolate and charming oak indicative of an inviting and engaging wine ahead. These enticing characters flow perfectly to the full-bodied palate. It is richly flavoured with a wealth of mixed dark fruits. Classy oak adds further interest and complexity whilst respecting the intense varietal concentration from the low-yielding vintage. There are notable but well integrated natural tannins adding a layered structure and strong backbone. A very long finish completes a bountiful and balanced wine. Nietschke Jack is a fine Barossa Shiraz that will cellar gracefully in the medium term.Grape

"Unmistakably Barossa Shiraz, this rich, traditionally styled wine opens with compact aromas of mocha, black cherries, blackberries, licorice and a glossy wood note, like furniture polish just sprayed on an oak coffee table. The palate is silky and concentrated, filling every corner of the mouth with plush dark fruit, oak and warm muscular tannins. Christina Pickard" - 86/100, Wine Enthusiast
