Wines like this are why Barossa Shiraz is such a popular style. Lush plummy flavours and lashings of dark chocolate over deliver on the flavour. Again, a real crowd pleaser. What's not to like. 2009 vintage. 17+. Tasted again on 4 December. Tasting notes above still apply. Not for cellaring. Soft tannins. Drink now.

Perhaps everything that is bad about Barossa Shiraz. Overripe, dead fruit, unbalanced and heavy on the palate with the acidity struggling to keep it afloat. Not for me.

Too fruity for a Shiraz and lacks the Shiraz sharpness.
