"the fruit has enough heft and weight to rise above the oak that encases it, and drives the wine across the mouth – powered by blackberries, cocoa, cassis, jubes and gentle spice. Compelling drinking for the money. Big bang for buck," James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
The colour is deep ruby with vibrant purple edges, indicating youth and freshness. The nose is Inviting and expressive, with aromas of ripe dark berries—blackberry, mulberry, and plum—interwoven with hints of black pepper, clove, and subtle mocha oak. There’s a touch of violet and liquorice, adding aromatic lift and intrigue.
The palate is juicy and medium-bodied, this Shiraz shows generous dark fruit flavours upfront—black cherry and plum—balanced by soft, approachable tannins and a thread of gentle spice. Oak is well-integrated, contributing a light toast and chocolate note without dominating the fruit.
The finish is smooth and rounded, lingering with dark berry richness and a touch of spice, making it immediately enjoyable and food-friendly. A great match for grilled lamb, chargrilled vegetables, or a smoky eggplant dish.

Purchased Mr Mick Shiraz and Tim Adam’s Semillon- both excellent authentic Australian wines delivered efficiently and without any issues
MR MICK IS JUST A SHADE LESS IMPRESSIVE THAN THE CLASSIC CLARE MADE UNDER THE LEASINGHAM LABEL MANY YEARS AGO, BUT IT IS GETTING CLOSE AND IS INDEED A VERY TASTY WINE. THIS IS MY SECOND ORDER OF THE 2018 AND NOT LIKELY TO BE MY LAST.
DELIVERY AND ALL COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE AUSTRALIAN WINE CENTRE ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON.
Am a fan of Tim Adams wine and this one is delicious. Ordering was easy and delivery impressive.
This wine has depth and finesse, as one would expect from the Tim Adams stable. Great value for money, and a good personalised service from the Australian Wine Centre.
I think this is a rather good Shiraz; certainly for the price. Maybe I’m biased because a wine named after someone significant in Australian wine always makes me sympathetic. However, leaving aside any bias based on emotion, this is a really good wine. Very much a Shiraz, with a definite connection with the grape, but, unlike some, smooth with a distinct berry taste. Fortunately, I have some bottles still to drink so I’ll see how it is in a few months. But buy now, is my tip.
