品酒筆記 Tasting Notes:
1979年創立精品酒莊，旗艦級名酒，產地最古老葡萄園之一，採用100年老樹葡萄限量釀造；18個月法國橡木桶蘊藏，釋放香草、黑加侖子、松木氣息；柔和優雅，果味集中濃厚，橡木伴隨柔順丹寧尾韻；最佳年份之一。
Paxton’s flagship wine, a single-vineyard made from the low yielding, 100+ year old Shiraz vines are amongst the oldest in McLaren Vale; matured 18 months in French oak; vanilla and black currant aromas with an elegant note of spicy oak and plum; soft and elegant with an intense concentration of red berry fruits, delicately integrated oak blends in beautifully with the natural tannin; a great vintage.
