Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
Barossa Shiraz at reserve level, which in this region means the best parcels and a fuller measure of oak. The Barossa's warmth and old-vine heritage give the variety its most generous expression anywhere: blackberry and dark plum with liquorice, cocoa and savoury spice, over ripe, enveloping tannins. Full-bodied and unapologetic, but the good examples keep a savoury line beneath the fruit that stops them turning sweet. A reserve selection has the structure to reward keeping rather than simply impressing on release — these wines close up for a few years, then open into leather, earth and dried fruit over a decade or more. Give it time or a long decant, and something substantial beside it.
