Head Wines The Blonde Shiraz 2020

Loved this blend of 92% Shiraz with 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, a 50/50 split from the Barossa and Eden Valleys including a portion from vines planted in 1890. Excellent complexity and composure as it displays rich wells of soy sauce, roasted meat, blackberry and clove spice aromas that retain good focus. There is then an impressive mix of juicy fruit flavours in the dark and red cherry spectrum well supported by a firm base of tannins before opening out to a richly flavoured finish. A lovely wine that will age well.
