Château Tanunda Grand Barossa Shiraz 2022

Share

Musty aromas of blackberry, warm asphalt, dust and menthol first up, with air and temperature bringing out plum and black pepper – classic Barossa Shiraz here. The palate is full bodied and chocolatey, with the blackberry and plum notes forward in the mouth before being constricted by fine but firm grainy tannins and cleansing acidity to a medium finish of dark chocolate bitterness. This nails the brief at $25.
