Tasted this a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Quite smooth but with a few sharp edges but nothing enough to stop drinking it. I was reminded of it today when I tasted the ’19 at the Singapore Air lounge. The 19 is very young and fresh but with lovely bones that will shine in a few years. I think I’ll buy some when I get home as it’s great value if you can keep it for a few years. Great with mildly spicy food.

Deep purple. Nose of dried blackberry, blueberry, slight thyme and pepper. Very smooth, but still some tartness and integrated tanins. The finish is still long, with a some lingering anise.

Decanted. S'alright this...had it with steak and salad. Ripe black fruits, a little pepper, quite dense but not overtly tannic. Does what you'd expect a Barossa Shiraz of this price to do.
