William Randell Barossa Valley Shiraz

Wow still super dark inky but such extraordinary concentration of ripe dark fruit - polished tannins - man, this has a lot more time and I fortunately I have quite a few more

True to form - see previous notes, still peaking

See previous notes: squirreled a bunch of this away from my wine selling days - holding steady, in fact, showed me some really gorgeous mint and some feral meat notes which were in addition to the usual generous fruit & spice. Miles to go

See previous notes: Holding steady - impeccable, consistent, just oozing blackberry, boysenberry, prune, black plum - all compote & reduction, swirling mint & cocoa… mouth coating & luxurious - continues to be one of the top Shiraz I’ve had from AUS

See previous notes + distinct minty note... this thing is in suspended animation - has MANY yrs ahead
