Fits the definition of Barossa warmth and sweet-fruited abundance, so much so, the urge is to drink now and not wait. Fruit is on the darker end of the spectrum: blackberry, bramble, liquorice amid the most enticing exotic spice mix of nutmeg, rosemary and crushed fennel seed. Joined by vanillin oak on the palate, there is breadth and warmth, the essence of Barossa Shiraz familiarity and comfort, enlivened by clean, precise and well-integrated tannins. Do you drink now or wait? That’s the question. There’s always potential to do both, if your bank account allows.
