Deep ruby; pronounced intensity aromas of black plum, black cherry, tart blackberry, mushroom, earth, new leather; dry, medium acid, medium ripe round tannins, high alcohol, full body, medium plus intensity flavors consistent with aromas; medium plus finish, tons of the funky mushroom and leather on finish, acid a bit low, but very good

Deep intense purple color Black fruit, blackberries, fruity and ripe. The palate has a good earthy element. The palate has nice tension between the acidity and the tannins.

Blackberry liqueur like fruit dark chocolate very complex for a wine at this price dark spices sweet tobacco spice big and chewy but with excellent balance smooth silky tannins violet floral notes, more than just a crowd pleaser. Finish 40+ excellent

As typical of plush full-bodied Aussie Shiraz, this benefits from decanting (or a good shaking). Saddle leather, hickory, blueberry, and a peppery firm tannic finish. Great if you like that sort of thing.

Made with 10% whole cluster. Gives the wine a little more structure. Mixed dark berries, violets and a touch of eucalyptus on the nose. Deep vibrate, lush, blackberries, blueberries, dark cherries, plum & medium plus tannins. It's has beautiful mouthfeel...round & rich, dark rich earth, dark fresh florals, good acidity, polished finish of warm blue fruits. Photos are of a concrete eggs they are using more & more of for fermentation. They name each one. The other is part of Yangarra's outside seating area.

Left my tongue feeling like Sand Paper, I'd suggest to open it in the morning to drink at night. Agresivo!!

Gorgeous tannin, plum - needs a decent decant to bring the fruit out. Long finish, delicious.
