No. 1 Barossa Shiraz
Barossa, South Australia, Australia
Past its best and the sweeter American oak notes distract a little, but still a decent drink.

Apr 15th, 2022Revisiting this one. The hallmark sweet black fruit plus vanilla and coconut American oak of the Barossa is evident. It’s developing into comfortable leathery tones while retaining that dark fruit potency. Tannins have really softened off. Good time to be drinking it - should hold for a while but I won’t be leaving the rest for too long.
