Eligo is made from the best parcels of the vintage, fermented with submerged caps in small open fermenters, matured for 20 months in French hogsheads (50% new). The tannins and oak are built into the wine like an inlaid checkerboard table created by a master craftsman with decades of experience. Like John Duval.

Inky and bright. No shortage of colour. Initial oak varnish blows off with a few swirls. Black olives, purple plums and oak-spice - lots of moving parts. Imperious when sipped; intensely-cored with lashings of quality caramel oak. A beautiful young, confident shiraz. Built for the cellar

Deep, violet color. Expansive, spice-accented blackberry, cherry-vanilla, licorice and exotic spice qualities on the nose. Fleshy and appealingly sweet, offering concentrated red and dark fruit preserve flavors that pick up cola, star anise and mocha notes as the wine opens up. Becomes livelier with aeration and finishes on a repeating berry notes note with well-knit tannins and impressive length.

Duval delivers a wine that echoes the warmth of the vintage without losing the character of place. Rich, complex and heady aromas of blueberry, blackberry and plum cascade from the glass, followed by dried mint, bay leaves and charred cedar. The mouthfeel is creamy, lathered in luscious fruit and oak without either being overwhelming. The tannins are powerful but seamlessly integrated.
