It was Barossa Shiraz the second I got a whiff. Thought It was St Hallett Blackwell.
This is drinking well already, if I had any more I’d be drinking them at leisure over the next 5 years.
Drinking next to the 18 Standish, this was no slouch clearly showing the Barossa style and balance that can be achieved with warm region and vintage with careful winemaking.
Very good.

Purple tinged dark cherry red, clear, medium colour depth 3 Sweet berry fruit, strawberry or blackberry jam, a hint of smoky oak, floral scent, crushed leaf 6 Smooth, mellow, dry, rich cassis fruit balanced with soft tannin. Moderate acidity, mild spirit burn. Full bodied. Long complex spicy finish. Even structure. Slight smokiness lingers at the end. Very easy to drink. 9

Blueberry and cherry fruits in the nose and mouth over a smoky, spicy base. Improves in the glass. I think it has 3-4 more years of development.

Full bodied. Long complex very spicy finish. Smokiness lingers on the finish. Interesting, but not my style.

Barossa all the way, drinking well now but lots of life left.
Well done!
Matched my 3-pepper rib eye perfectly
