William Randell Barossa Valley Shiraz
Nothing changed from first time having this in 2017 - still tight after decant for two hours - funk on the nose - taste ok but no length or integration - not sure I know what to think - mist people would be ok but not enthusiastic about this - 🤷🏼♂️ - critics like it - not sure I do

Jun 8th, 2020I like this winery but this baby needs more time to rest - still like it but man is this a beast - still able to smile as I drink it

Jul 17th, 2017Great Shiraz from Barossa with great ageing potential. Big core and good tannins, with a floral, spicy, and botanical nose. The pallet exhibits dark vibrant raspberries, black pepper, bay leaf, burnt espresso bean, and silver dollar eucalyptus toward the lingering finish. I still find the RWT to be more my style, in comparison to this beimg more lean in structure and spicy in character. It was a bit less extracted which for some is preferable, but every so often I enjoy more of a rich extracted style of wine. Overall, great effort and I would like to see this one in a few more years.
Cheers!

Cooked berries & baking spice & turned earth & that telltale acidity alongside alcohol heat. Representative of the genre
