| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.1 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 22 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Waza on 3/8/2024 & rated 93 points: The wine looks ruby colored. Long lasting on the pallet. There is light sediment in the bottle. (229 views) | | | Tasted by Andrew Lannen on 2/18/2024 & rated 93 points: Had with bbq porterhouse steak. Could not have been more perfect. (252 views) | | | Tasted by Swintonblade on 6/28/2023 & rated 92 points: Wonderful nose & still comes across young and would likely improve with a couple of more years to soften but a great wine! (683 views) | | | Tasted by peterchoy on 3/4/2022 & rated 93 points: Appearance: Bright and clear, the wine is of deep ruby colour, with fading rims and legs.
Nose: Clean, with pronounced intensity aromas of black fruit of blackberry, cassis and dark plum, oak notes of smoke, kernel notes of chocolate, pungent spice of black pepper, animal notes of meaty, maturity notes of forest floor. The wine is developing.
Palate: Dry with medium acidity, the wine has medium (+) tannin of ripe and velvety texture, medium (+) alcohol and full body, with medium (+) intensity flavours of black fruit of blackberry, cassis and dark plum, oak notes of smoke, pungent spice of black pepper, kernel notes of cocoa. The wine has a medium (+) finish.
Conclusion: Very good quality Barossa Shiraz with a very intense nose showing great complexity, with plenty of ripe black fruit, spicy and smoky, lots of chocolate, plus some meaty and forest floor. On the palate the wine has robust structure, with ripe tannin, muscular with very concentrated flavours as well as a good length on the finish. It is ready to drink now but can benefit from further ageing of another 3-5 years. (1998 views) | | | Tasted by smenzies on 12/7/2021 & rated 91 points: Decanted 2hrs . Enjoyable but a bit disappointing at this price point and pedigree. Also difficult to know whether this will improve (1763 views) | | | Tasted by SuperSomm on 11/25/2021: Deep ruby red colour. Medium (+) and developing nose with blackberry, black plum, vanilla, toast, chocolate and leather. Medium (+) taste of blackberry, black plum, vanilla, toast, chocolate and leather. Medium (+) long and dry finish. High acidity. High tannins. Full body. A very good and well matured Shiraz. Part of my WSET3 exam prep. Drink now. Goes well with beef. (104 views) | | | Tasted by bitdrerik on 1/22/2021 & rated 89 points: Zoom smakk Eðalklúbbs #4 (Út um allar trissur): Nú hafði vínið hitnað aðeins. Þetta var 15,8°C þegar hellt var í glasið. Dökkur til frekar dökkur litur. Unglegur litur. Í nefinu mátti finna gúmmi, asfalt og brunatóna í byrjun. Einnig dísel, tjara og brennt kaffi. Lítill sem enginn ávöxtur í ilmi. Minnti á fjórða vínið hvað ilminn varðaði. Þegar bragðað var á víninu þá reyndist það þykkt og ávaxtamikið. Ekki flókið. Lakkrís, mynta, pipp súkkulaði. Ferskleiki til staðar sem lyftir víninu upp. Það var talað um að það vantaði karakter í vínið og ég get tekið undir það. Ég var svona að skjóta á 88-90 stig. Förum milliveginn. Ekki ódýrt vín (7.400) og mér finnst frammistaðan ekki alveg endurspegla verðmiðann. (2545 views) | | | Tasted by travisgm on 9/7/2020 & rated 95 points: Wonderful right now. Could go another 12 years but I suggest 2 years tops in this peak drinking window. (2519 views) | | | Tasted by Josch48 on 8/14/2020 & rated 92 points: Dark black brooding color with the nose giving up blue fruit and Barossa red dust. Dense full mouthfeel, coating the tongue with thick, but not jammy, sweet blackberry flavor, buoyed by gentle acidity and supportive tannins, with an extended and interesting finish.
Bought this beauty in the Dubai airport duty free shop on a return from Bangladesh. Talk about a tale of two cultures. Perfect time to enjoy this very well-made wine. (2293 views) | | | Tasted by Ab1974 on 7/29/2020 & rated 96 points: Drinking very well. (1658 views) | | | Tasted by Johno's Cellar on 7/25/2020 & rated 91 points: Good wine but interestingly still has much to give. Loads of layers of fruit soft supple fruit and oak integration (1521 views) | | | Tasted by Tartiflette on 11/26/2019 & rated 90 points: Very mature and ok Shiraz. An abundance of fruit but good minerality and spice blend to even out. Wont last much longer without being too much a fruit bomb. (1721 views) | | | Tasted by SuperSomm on 9/4/2019: Deep ruby colour. Pronounced nose with eucalyptus, baked cherry, licorice, vanilla and chocolate. Taste of chocolate, nuts, leather, licorice, baked cherry, charred wood and black plum. Long and dry finish. Medium acidity and high tannins. Full body with a pronounced flavour. A very good Shiraz. Goes well with beef and lamb, especially grilled. (73 views) | | | Tasted by Keith Cooper on 4/30/2019 & rated 90 points: Tasted at The Wine Society's Australian tasting, Reading, UK. Dark maroon colour, almost black. Dark fruit, matured cassis and peppery. This is a big wine. Good now, but I think even at 7 years this is still young and the recommendation to drink up to 2027 is good. (1827 views) | | | Tasted by ricard on 4/24/2019 & rated 93 points: This is an exciting wine. Precision, acidity and intensity - I was expecting something jammier and sweeter. But it's got a Northern Rhône acidity which is very appealing, and a smokiness too, like a Côte Rôtie. Also lovely forest berries at the heart of the wine. Very good indeed - very much my idea of what great Syrah should be. I like that Australia is moving away from being blindly enthralled by "big is beautiful". I think this will be super in a decade.

Forward and meaty aromas with notes of black olives. Full bodied, vigorous and concentrated in the mouth. A turbo Aussie Shiraz. Impressive and good.

Who is Peter Lehmann?
Peter Lehmann, with 33 vintages already under his belt, started his own winery in 1979, partly as a means of helping with the glut of grapes then afflicting the Barossa. "I'll take your grapes and turn them into wine," he told the desperate growers, many of them conservative farmers of Silesian descent who regarded their old vines as part of their patrimony. "But I'll only be able to pay you when I sell the wine." They gratefully accepted. Without this deal, it is widely thought that the Barossa would have lost a huge chunk of its old vines. The 'Masters' wines are made from the parcels regarded by the winemakers as the best Semillon, Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz of the vintage.
Peter Lehmann Wines
In 1979 Peter Lehmann parted ways with Saltram to start Masterson Wines, the company which has since evolved into Peter Lehmann Wines, in a move solely designed to help the growers he had built relationships with over the years. Peter took the surplus grapes and doing business on a handshake sold wine on a “pay now and we’ll deliver in two years” arrangement called ‘The Futures’. This raised enough money to buy the growers’ fruit and process it into what became the first ever vintage of Peter Lehmann wine in 1980. Today the winemaking team at Peter Lehmann have a collective winemaking mentality defined by former chief winemaker and mentor, Andrew Wigan. Over the years there has been a natural evolution within the team but the approach has remained the same; consistency and a continuous strive for perfection. "We are always looking for ways to make better wine. To never rest on our laurels. There is a strong sense of pride and tradition that surround our wines.” Tim Dolan, Senior WinemakerPeter Lehmann Shiraz Stonewell Notes on Peter Lehmann's Shiraz winesShiraz Varietal article (Wikipedia) | Varietal character (Appellation America)Australia Wine Australia (Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation) | Australian Wines (Wikipedia)South Australia South Australian Wine Industry Association | South Australian Wines (Wikipedia)Barossa Barossa Wine (South Australian Tourism Commission)Barossa Valley Barossa Valley |
