Schubert Estate The Gosling Single Vineyard Shiraz 2018

A little more obvious style on display here compared to the previous vintage release. A little more fruit is evident, too, which is in better balance with the oak. All round, this is one smart, full blooded Barossa Shiraz. A solid aroma hit of ripe, plum-scented, black-fruited, spice and woodsmoke oak. The palate is sturdy but nevertheless well composed with fruit intensity and added complexity via some delicious and inviting chocolate panforte notes. Moves effortlessly across the tongue with plenty of Barossa upfront character. Rich, textural, chewy and long in length.
