1847 Gully Winds Vineyard Shiraz 2022

Wow! Just a sniff of this, and I imagined the Barossa of the settler’s time, with polished leather, sweet tobacco, eucalyptus leaves, turned earth, black fruit conserve, a faint touch of old man cologne and petrichor, dried roses, and lavender from ladies’ lounges. The palate is rich and voluptuous but balanced in its purpose. Finesse reigns supreme, as does the tannic structure. Bitter chocolate, incredible shining black and blueberries, and great length are all hallmarks of this fabulous wine.
