Glen Eldon Twisted Trunk Show Reserve Shiraz 2020

From ancient vines in the Barossa Valley, planted in 1865, this is quintessential Barossa Shiraz. It is a wine which makes it so easy to see why this style is so beloved around the world. No shrinking violet here – big, bold and rich. The colour is a deep, opaque maroon, while the nose offers us chocolate, plums, black fruits, coffee beans, mocha and more. Rich, plush, dense, yet balanced, as we move to the palate, there is cassis, more chocolate, blueberries, blackberries and cocoa powder. Balanced, full of flavour, well-structured and with soft, silky tannins, but it is this sweet core of choc/cherry that appeals so much. Will sail through a decade or more. Love it.
