Golden Amrita Barossa Valley Shiraz 2018

A museum release from the Greenock vineyard, it is from another superb vintage for the region. Ageing was for two years in 100% American oak hogsheads, all new. Under cork. Deep maroon, this is just starting to show a little lightening on the edges. We have notes of cold tea, blackberries, mocha, aniseed and chocolate. There is a supple and sweet core of black cherries on the palate and serious length. The wine is finely balanced and with silky tannins and impressive length. Lots to love here and it should remain that way for the next ten to fifteen years.
