Corryton Burge Percival Norman Barossa Shiraz 2020

Carries its Barossa credentials proudly, combining a weighty, ripe fruit component with an equally impressive amount of oak – 18 months in French barrels – which brings a big personality to the glass. Bramble, cassis, blackberry, allspice, clove, espresso notes, sage, star anise and more, offer a world of dark Shiraz intensity. Dense tannins bring structure and weight, reining in the fruit, oak and alcohol (14.5%). In the end, Percival Norman manages to control what could have easily run out of control. It’s a big, warm wine ride.
