Entity Barossa Valley Shiraz

Beautiful, voluptuous, bouquet of red fruit, wild flowers, with capsaicin on the tongue. I have a few more bottles of this. Paired nicely with grilled burgers from our local farm raised beef.

92+ points

2008 vintage. In great shape and seems to have several more years of life in it. Stewed black cherry, baked blueberry, baked blackberry, tannins still have some grip and show tree bark, tobacco, and old tarragon.

Big, ripe, luscious, blackberry, dark red cherry, bit of leather/tar, fine tannin (wish it was more though), mild spice. Unmistakeabley Barossan.

Eucaberry may be too simplistic but - the Australian character here is obvious but fun in a obvious way big abv 14.5% by volume

Might be weird to say about a 6 year old Syrah in a screwcap, but I think this wine was a year or two over it's peak. Still complex just not as much power that comes with youth.

Herbal, blue with medium weight. Slightly hot and short.

From Polar’s Australian wine tasting. Mellow with soft pliant Tannins in a more drink now style. Interestingly John Duval was chief winemaker at Penfolds for 29 years when most of the previous Penfolds wines just tasted were made. This wine made very differently to how he made them at Penfolds.

Intense

Thanks again Tom for sharing this 08 out of magnum.

Big and broad, chewy tannins, ripe lush, rich berries with bigger spice and wonderful florals that should be heaven in another 7-8 years.
