Fu Barossa Valley Shiraz 2016
Deep dark black with crimson hues. A hedonistic style which needs time to breathe to show its true character. The fruit characters are blackberry and there is white pepper and some seductive spice. Some age is showing and is evident through the characters of leather saddle, coffee, and chocolate. Powerful fruit flavours are evident thanks in large part to the old vine material used there’s a blanket of tannin and oak which all work together to provide the backbone. Plum, liqueur, leather, earth, coffee and smoked meat all perform back up roles. A perfect balance between oak and fruit has been achieved and these characters appear to have perfectly melted into one another over time due to the use of high-quality oak and minimal Sulphur use. The tannin structure is long and velvety with the wine having an incredibly long finish.
Watershed Awakening Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
The wine displays complex aromas of blackcurrant, liquorice and choc mint, with hints of mocha. On the palate, the dense velvety texture is complemented by cigar box, black olive notes followed by fine silky tannins from 18 months maturation in French oak barriques.
The Colonial Estate Entrepreneur Barossa Valley Shiraz 2017
Black colour with purple and cherry red flashes. Brilliant cherry and blackberry florals on the nose followed by layers of earth, dark plums and espresso coffee notes. Still quite bright and broody which reflects it will cellar well so suggest decanting well before consumption if drunk early. There is black plum, blackberry, juicy cassis, dried spice and melted dark chocolate notes. The underlying earthy character becomes more apparent when allowed to breathe; this also allows the layers of tannin to become more apparent whilst a slight touch of natural fruit acid and the oak will ensure longevity and development in the bottle.
Tapestry The Vincent McLaren Vale Shiraz 2016
This wine has a deep, complex, brooding nose with aromas of black cherries, blackberries and some regional prune. There are hints of dark cocoa, mace and a woody character similar to mahogany.In the mouth the wine exhibits Shiraz’s typical plush velvety mouthfeel and the tannins on the finish are subtle and long. It is a rich medium bodied wine with good persistence of flavours such as black fruits, rum, raisin and dark chocolate.
Normans Chais Clarendon McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Black squid ink, impenetrable colour. The nose shows dark fruits, dark chocolate and olive notes with rich blackcurrant and violets leading in to a richly flavoured palate. The palate shows elegance and length with dark plum and olive flavours relishing. There is a lot of complexity of flavors and mid palate richness derived from obvious highly concentrated fruit and well-balanced oak usage. The obvious finesse and length along with the finely grained yet expressive tannins in this wine shows it has great cellaring potential and could be a true treasure over the years to come.
Evil Incarnate Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Deep purple red in colour. Displays blackcurrant, plum and some minty notes with well-integrated cedary oak providing a welcome complexity. Vibrant full throttle blackcurrant flavours the palate is silky smooth with chocolate and mint flavours. The wine continues with great persistence and the finish is surrounded by more complex notes of natural fruit acid balanced by oak, which create a long lingering finish.
Viking Odins Honour Barossa Valley Shiraz 2016
Dark crimson red with dark black core. Rich earthy characters with an abundance of black fruit followed by hints of chocolate, licorice, leather, black pepper and oak. This is a big traditional style of Shiraz, which we recommend is decanted and allowed to breathe prior to consuming. Black fruits are at the forefront here and an earthy character reflecting its age is also evident although freshness from the fruit and natural acid highlights its ability to age further with ease. The oak and tannin melt into the fruit and some more subtle hints of leather and just a touch of black pepper create further complexity.
