Barossa Shiraz 2021
Wonderfully complex dark red wine. Aroma is spicy, with notes of black pepper, clove, tobacco. Definitely some minerality, like slate, limestone and a touch of brimstone. Very woody but not the cocoa and vanilla more very subtle green woods. Full bodied with balanced sweetness and a strong tannic finish. Had would spag bol. Delicious on its own and with food. — 18 days ago

The Ball Buster Basket Pressed Old Vines Barossa Valley Red Blend 2021
Mostly Shiraz with some small cab and merlot blends to make for a lovely red wine that went well with lamb and Rosemary. Aroma is deep and complex. I get facing notes of chocolate, vanilla and tobacco from the barrel. I get fruity notes of cherry, plum and black currant. I get light herbal notes from the soil with touches of Rosemary and pine. I get spicy notes from the yeast like cardamom and clove. The palate is full bodied with a heavy sweetness quickly balanced by very strong tannins so that it never feels too sweet or oppressive. Definitely finished with a strong tannic astrigency that would be aggressive if it wasn't scrubbing the heavy fruity sweetness. — 8 days ago
