2016 John Duval Integro Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz
Est. range:
Private Sale- priced per LOT inc. GST (if applicable) and commission.
96/100 pts – James Suckling
The nose is seriously complex, with layers of blackcurrants, blood plums, tobacco leaves, graphite and cured meat. The palate is full-bodied with finely integrated tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of mulberry bush, ferric earth, iodine, mocha and dried herbs. A wonderfully balanced blend of 70% cabernet sauvignon and 30% shiraz from an average vine age of 110 years. Released after six years in bottle. Excellent.
96/100 pts – Erin larkin, Robert Parker
The first vintage that they released of the Integro was 2017. I have reviewed the 2017 and the 2018; however, both Tim and John Duval view the 2016 Integro Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz as now being ready for release. It's 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Shiraz, matured for 18 months in 20% new French oak. So, on the nose, the wine leads with dark chocolate and olive tapenade, roast beef crust and cocoa. The fruit in the mouth is dark and dense, and it has a tobacco, pipe smoke, dried fruit/Christmas cake spice inflection running through it. The texture is dense and chewy, but the wine exudes confidence and balance in equal measure. It's a powerful wine, and it's impressively in balance. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.

Your Questions, Answered
What do you need from me to get started?
We will need you to confirm that you are over 18 (for obvious reasons!) and to open an account by registering on the site. This will include provision of credit card details for any eventual purchases. You will also need to sign that you have read the terms and conditions.
How many wines are in each Lot?
You will see the quantity (number of bottles) stated above the price. Please note that the bid-price is per bottle so you will need to multiply the price by the number of bottles in the lot to calculate the total price of the lot.
Can I cancel my bid if I change my mind?
All bids are final - please think before you confirm your bid.

We have an extremely competitive buyers' commission of 16.5% (GST inclusive). This will be added to the final winning price of your Lot at the end of the auction.
What are your freight charges?
Please see our Delivery Policy for full details relating to freight.
Is there a Guarantee on my wine?
Under Australian law, consumer guarantees do not apply to goods purchased at auction - all such purchases are at the risk of the Buyer. We will always provide as much detail as we can as to the visual condition and provenance of each Lot, however this is done so as a guide rather than as a guarantee.
