Barons of the Barossa Barossa Cellar Shiraz 2021

The Barons are a group of local Barossa legends, who have been nominated for inclusion. Yes, they do wander around in weird robes like grown-up Harry Potters, but they also include many of this country’s very best winemakers. So when they combine to make a wine, don’t hesitate. Basically, they have blended top barrels sourced from their wineries from around the Barossa and Eden Valleys. From a great vintage in the Barossa, this is a dark maroon hue. Finely balanced, with notes of chocolate, plums, bay leaves, black fruits, mocha, soy, aniseed and cassis. After a little time in the glass, the cassis comes to dominate and in a very good way. Seamless, finely balanced, refined and with a line of acidity running the length this is a very attractive wine delivering silky tannins and excellent length. Enjoy it now or any time over the next ten to fifteen years, with or without the robes. Cracking value.
