"GET SERIOUS ABOUT SHIRAZ"
Made from grapes of the original Adam Bros 1891 Metala vines in the eucalypt-rich mudflats of Langhorne Creek, this wine is the product of pure history. Wines from Langhorne Creek are very different from the Barossa: they have a slight minty edge which works well with lamb dishes. This vibrant super expressive Shiraz has aromas of mulberry, red currants, eucalyptus and chocolate mint. On the palate it has an elegant and smooth structure with ultra fine tannins. This wine is very approachable now but also has the potential to age for the next 10 years.

"BROTHERS ENJOY BEING SLOSHED"
The latest release wines from Brothers in Arms include the new 2005 Langhorne Creek Shiraz. This new Shiraz is a lifted, minty wine with lovely chocolate and dark berry aromas. This wine would take kindly to a few hours in the decanter prior to drinking - no need to be too gentle with it. If it gets sloshed around a bit, all the better. The palate is luscious with a pleasant glycerol texture in the mouth. The tannins are velvety and integrated and overall the wine is well balanced. The alcohol pokes out a touch, but nothing to worry too much about. There is good length of flavour, and as mentioned, it looks better having been opened for a while.

This Shiraz is a powerful, supple, sweet-fruited red. It's lovely now but almost certainly age well for a decade or more.
CHRIS SHANAHAN

This is dizzyingly aromatic with swivelling bouquets and a fully satisfying palate of blackcurrant, trade spice and festive cake, mint, char and plum. The beautiful fruit characters dovetail into a seamless integration of dark, treacle/ vanilla oak and rubbery, savoury tannins!
WINEWEEKLY.COM.AU

Smells and tastes rich and luxurious - blackberry, plum, mint and dark chocolate, leather and toasty vanilla oak. Full bodied and awash with lush sweet fruit that's offset by savoury and very adult bitter chocolate flavours. Tannins are submerged, smooth and seemingly fine grained but give them a good rattle round in the mouth and they make themselves known.

GARY WALSH, THE WINE FRONT

A seriously delicious wine with a touch of class. Plum, dark cherry, spice, vanilla, plus some mint in the mix as well. It tastes as you would expect Langhorne Creek Shiraz to taste, but it has the concentration, balance and fine tannin structure of anything but a generic regional wine. Ripe, but with a clean drying finish, this youthful Shiraz still needs a little time in the cellar to show its best.

GRANT DODD, THE WINING PRO.

The aromas of this wine are undoubtedly complex: meaty, stewy, cedary and jammy - there's a lot going on, just not all going in the same direction. Yet it seems to come together on the palate, where it offers a creamy, mouthfilling texture, turning chewier on the finish. Hints of chocolate, coffee, molasses, mixed berries and peppery spice make for a rich, intense blend of flavors.

THE WINE ENTHUSIAST

The smell sucks the drinker in; all things ripe or rich fruit cake, well laced with brandy. It's classic rich Shiraz on the palate, flavours unfolding in a lazy Sunday sort of way. Good length, depth.
