Paarl Shiraz

Vintage 2016 - deep purple, smell with explosive morello cherries, cedar, spicyness, touch of rubber (South Africa) and a smooth velvet taste. Lot of power. Partnered great with boudin noir and duck liver - at Meesters in wijn Maastricht #shiraz #southafrica

last had the '21, this is solid, consistent & indicative of this hi quality winery: inky completely opaque brooding oozing black fruit & spice, peppery, hint of vanilla, mild oak, huge extraction here just bordering on overkill. Huge & fleshy on midpalate, chewy tannins - suave but not a ton of finesse, this is built for power. Felt the heat on finish but this was thoroughly enjoyable

Wow. Cherry and brown sugar nose with some smoke underneath. Sweet cherry and cedar with chocolate. Velvety and savory throughout. Sour finish. I really like this.

Was bit too sweet for my taste.

Wine that starts sweet and has a sour aftertaste. The after after taste is somewhat bitter. It has a hint of berry, but overall a very balanced taste

2017 amazing! Not a heavy but still full bodied red. Not too tongue tickley. In oak barrels

Full and concentrated - delicious! Love Babylonstoren wines!

Great Shiraz! Had it with Indian food. Bought at Bottlerocket.

2012 was excellent. Smooth and tasty.
