Something always draws me in to Tim O’Callaghan’s wines. At first it was spotting the strangely labelled bottle at the Rockford Stonewall Cellar Door and then it was experiencing Tim’s winery and his great passion that is larger than life. The Watch Dog hides from sight on the nose, preferring a more subtle approach, while the palate hits you like a freight train – not unlike its canine counterpart. The palate offers so much great Barossa fruit upfront and then a harmonious mixture of Cabernet and Shiraz tannins that follow through to the end. Time has been very generous to this wine and it has many more years still to come. -SG

says:Largely mature, with some confit fruit notes and the threat of a break in the line and structure of the palate; however, the length is still there, as is the finesse of the tannins.
