The fruit-forward and charming 2022 Shiraz Mother's Milk offers up a wild ride of dark cherry and coffee bean aromas with a dark, earthy tinge. It's well-pitched, fresh and vibrant, with a supple core of tannins that fits the overall package of red berry flavor well before the gentle finish. $20.00 (Angus Hughson, Vinous, November 2024)

Dark Ruby-purple edges, aromas of ripe dark fruits and an array of spices, cigar box and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry preserves and blackberry, layering in some licorice, leather, tobacco and black pepper spice. Savory tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy character.

Shiraz 2008 from Barossa, Australia, 14,5%. I am a Syrah lover, and I truly enjoyed this one! Aged in new wood which gives intense cocoa and chocolate scents. In the mouth the tannins are smooth and vibrant.

Heavy alcohol taste, but smooth out very quickly. Deep Ruby color, lovely warm and well rounded on the palate. Great Costco buy and would absolutely get this again.

One of my very favorite Barossa Valley Shirazs. Notes of cherry and cedar on the nose. Tanic leather, and red fruit. Juicy mouth feel.

Hög syra, intensiv frukt, björnbär, lakrits, kakao. Kräver kraftig mat. För mycket till både tacos och piccata milanese.

Milk chocolate, sweet tobacco, red plum with faint notes of olive, bacon fat, vanilla and sassafras. Medium body with a strong ruby core. Blackberry, green peppercorn and faint licorice on the palate.
