October 25, 2023 - A Shiraz Barossa with enough body to handle steak, or lamb but also great as a solo glass. Is somewhat difficult to find, good price and a very good wine. One of my favorite Shiraz.

October 25, 2020 - Decanted 1hr and drank over 1.15 hrs . Velvet Barossa Shiraz. The price point is why there is very few better value wines on the planet.

Tenpasttwo Does not like this wine:
August 30, 2020 - Screw top so no cork issues. Did not like. Maybe bad bottle. Sour and bitter bite. Only drank 1/2 glass and called it quits.

May 4, 2020 - 颜色上紫红色但透亮，显示出与其他澳洲酒相比更柔和的萃取度。香气上开瓶就非常开放，梅子，甜香料非常明显。入口开始甜度明显，丹宁存在感较弱且比较柔和，中段酸度显现，很好的平衡了甜感，尾段有非常明显的甜香料味，与香气非常一致，但尾韵短，酒精感开瓶时略强，杯醒三十分钟后减弱。总体而言是一瓶走优雅风的新世界西拉，香气和口感上西拉特征明显，可以一杯接一杯完全无压力畅饮，只是持续力稍弱，三小时后果味开始衰退，酒精感的苦味在尾部重新出现。酒虽然不复杂但特点很鲜明。喝过16年，与17年几乎保持了一样的感觉，品质如一。在这个价位段是一款不错的的高性价比新世界西拉！推荐
