2004 The Willows Vineyard ShirazBarossa Valley more |
6/27/2023 - AlexGarner Likes this wine: 92 pointsDark red, almost black with no hint of bricking. An earthy and vegetal nose with dark blue fruits and cake spice with a eucalyptus note. The palate is rich with super smooth tannins and a kick of alcohol but plenty of brambly fruit, leather and tar. This will go for a long time yet. Nice to see a reasonably priced Barossa Shiraz developing so well after 10 years. |

I was very worried that this would be past it’s prime but it’s drinking beautifully and I wish this wasn’t my last bottle. The nose is full of black forest fruit and spice with a dark earthy finish and acidic/mineral balance. |
